Requesting Sensitivity Reader for ASL & Disability Issues (YA Contemporary, 80K)

[Kai]

Hi,

I'm looking for a sensitivity reader who reads for ASL & deaf culture. It's a plus if you can also speak to Singaporean and/or Shanghainese sign language, but it's okay if you can't.

This is an 80k contemporary YA novel with adventure and LGBTQ+ leanings. Summary below.

When you feel like your real self has nowhere to belong, it can seem impossible to tell the friends you're lucky enough to have that they're wrong about you. In "HAGS, or Around the World in 8 Days", four mixed-race teens grapple with disillusionment, sometimes-clashing identities, and sense of belonging in a world where they don’t quite fit in.

17-year-old JULIAN loses his only close friend when he breaks up with his girlfriend by revealing that he’s gay. 16-year-old deaf Singaporean hacker MEI is tasked by the CIA with capturing her former employer, or else she will face consequences for her cybercrimes. 17-year-old Indian-Canadian EVA is frustrated with her friends' inability to accept that she is utterly uninterested in romance. In pursuit of Mei's criminal boss, the teens are swept into HAGS, a worldwide game of hide-and-seek that takes them around the globe. But the teens soon realize that the game is only a distraction, hiding something far more sinister.

Thanks!!
