Research is essential when you write about something outside of your everyday experience. Sensitivity reading is another level to that research.

At Frank & Co., we want to support you in this process because we strive to make the publishing world a more diverse, engaging, & open space for all writers.

Our readers assess for unconscious bias and stereotyping and provide insight into building robust characters whose experiences may lie outside of your own.

Receive feedback on potentially biased, stigmatising, and unrealistic depictions relating to gender, race, sexuality, ability, mental health, and other topics and characterisations. Notes made on any given portrayal are not instructions to change or render controversial topics benign or invisible but to provide you with food for thought on what type of messages, images, or themes you want to present in your work.

Sensitivity readings provide writers with the opportunity to test run their work in a safe, supportive, and confidential environment. We hope that a sensitivity reading will bring you new perspectives on your work and give you space to see the dynamic and diverse ways that readers might interpret your work.

A single sensitivity report represents the responses and reflections of a single reader and is not a comprehensive overview of how every reader will interact with your work. We have readers specialising in many areas. Please browse our reader profiles to see what we can do to bring your manuscript into perfect focus.
