For today’s episode, Bella Hernandez and Julie Bates chat about sensitivity reading—what it is, why it's important, and how it works alongside editing. This is the first in a series of episodes where we dig into the importance of properly representing identities and experiences and avoiding marginalization of group because of age, race, gender, (dis)ability, and more.

In this episode, we mention another great podcast episode on sensitivity reading (it's much more in-depth than ours!). We encourage you to listen to the full episode from The Editing Podcast. Plus we mention Hank Green's chat with the perspective editors he worked with on his novel A Beautifully Foolish Endeavor. It's super interesting, so check it out here!
