Do we just send an email with our relevant information? There wasn't a specific application link.

You don't need to have prior professional experience, though that will increase the odds of being hired.

GB Patch

Yeah, you just send a message to the email listed. There isn't a form to fill out or anything.

This is a really great way to bring authencity to the cultures you are representing! It's not only practical, but you can even learn so much from having sensitivity/authencity readers. Writing different cultures is a learning experience that should be treated with respect and dignity. 🩷 Can't wait to see the updates.

Might I suggest looking for a donor-conceived sensitivity reader as well? There's a lot going on in the donor-conceived community rn

Are we able to apply even if we have no prior experience doing this?? I'm curious myself about doing this as I check 3 of the boxes for backgrounds that you're looking for.

generally, a sensitivity reader is someone who checks whether the portrayal of certain identities in the story 1) makes sense for their identity, and 2) doesn't play into harmful stereotypes and such. This may also extend into the story itself so they could also check whether the story arc of X character seems to follow a common, harmful story arc of their X race or identity, etc.

You can apply without having done it before! Everyone has to start somewhere.

2026-09-05 13:00 Question from someone with anxiety: how long does it take to get a reply via email for the application? I just want to be sure that it went through & was seen.

It depends! It could take as long as three days, or you might get a reply within hours depending on when you sent it. I'm about to start sending my first round of responses, I may not get to everyone today, though.

GB Patch

No worries. I've replied to people today, but it was only a portion of all the submission. I'll do more tomorrow.
