Sensitivity Reader Inquiry
Hello!!!!
I am 50,000 words into the novel that I'm currently working on. I feel like this is my favorite one I've ever written to date, both published and unplublished. I still have a little bit to go, but I also feel like I'm far enough in to start making some serious queries for sensitivity readers. Overall it is sweet and fluffy in nature, however there are some heavy topic discussions along with both MC's being on the asexual spectrum and I could really use a few sensitivity readers to put another set of eyes on it. If interested please DM for further conversation. I've also left a brief blurb about the book to see if it interests anyone enough to want to do a sensitivity, beta, or alpha read.
Qi Jiang:
Future human rights activist lawyer. Future career set. Accepted into my university of choosing also set. Since the day I saw the world turn its back on my sibling for being different, I knew what I wanted to do with my life. I have half a year of high school left before I take my next step towards my future goals.
The only thing I'm not sure of is my dating life. My friends keep pushing me to date people but there's never a spark. I'm pretty sure I'm an ace. But I have more important things to worry about right now.
I've stopped trying to date. Told my friends to quit setting me up, so how did I go from raising awareness for queer youth to being auctioned off to a guy who looks like a centerfold pinup?
Tristan Donovan:
Money, power, prestige. All-American high school quarterback right here. Just got accepted to one of the most elite universities in the country. Nepotism-sure as hell looks like it, but no, actually not so much. There's the mask I wear at school, and then the few who know who I really am underneath. I'd like to think there's more to me than meets the eye, but I've shut myself down for so long I don't know anymore. Until I see him, and then everything changes.
Love at first sight? Don't believe there's enough of a connection for that to be verifiable. Lust at first sight? Don't think that works for someone who has never really felt lust. So then, maybe soulmate recognition? I don't know how else to explain how I become instantly drawn to a stranger, but here I am. And when his friends put three dates with him up for auction, there's no way I'm about to lose those dates.
What To Expect:
This is a sweet and swoony low-angst romance with a demiromantic aceflux awakening, and a greypanromantic/greypansexual awakening. It's a one-size does not fit all journey as they learn where they are on the asexual spectrum and how they experience different levels of attractions on different levels and in different ways. One MC is ready to shape his life around those he cares about while the other MC has a strong romantic thread underneath his apathetic exterior. This is a slow burn while the two MC's learn about themselves and each other. One questions his ability to be a romantic partner, while the other learns how to reanalyze his approach to life and his future. There will be some sexy scenes that I haven’t written yet, but they will heavily emphasize intimacy. (Characters are 18 & anything past making out and heavy petting doesn’t happen until they’re at university.) Expect cute dates, honest confessions, lots of blushes, tons of support and lots of love.
What I need the sensitivity readers for:
Demiromantic MC
Greyromantic MC (tentatively)
Greysexual MC
Pansexual MC
Aceflux MC
Asian MC (Chinese-American)
Important Nonbinary side character
Pansexuality oppression
Nepotism
Povertyism
Racism
I’m hoping to have the final scenes written by the end of this week but I’d like to have my sensitivity readers set by then. Thank you!!!
