Writing Diversely is dedicated to helping writers create diverse and inclusive stories. Our team of editors and readers offers a full range of editing, writing, and consulting services.
Sensitivity Read
Our signature service. Sensitivity readers review fiction and nonfiction texts for content that may mispresent or perpetuate stereotypes of a given group or groups. Sensitivity readers flag those errors and may provide resources and tips for corrections in future drafts. Learn more about and request a sensitivity read here

Line Editing
$0.035 per word. Minimum $100
Your plot is exactly where it needs to be but your novel still isn't flowing. Line editing provides a detailed review of every line (of course!). Ensure the tone is on point, the grammar makes sense, the word choice fits, and your style shines through. Basically, a combination of developmental editing and copy editing.
Proofreading
