Naseem stands in front of a tree, hands on their thighs as they lean against the trunk. They're in a park, with grass and trees visible, and the Philly skyline rises behind them.

  • Authenticity (Sensitivity) Reads

    Authenticity reads (also called sensitivity reads) are when a person of a particular background reads a manuscript to see how this background is portrayed in the text, usually when written by an author not of that background.

     

    I can do authenticity reads for West Asian/Persian representation (or secondary worlds inspired by this), child-to-immigrants experiences, Sufi representation, psychiatric disabilities, nonbinary trans representation, queer representation, and intersections among these. However, given this, there are more specific representations for which I'm qualified to read; please reach out to me for further details. I have worked with major publishing houses and individuals alike.

     

    My rates are $0.0028 per word, rounded up to the nearest $5. I reserve the right to charge more depending on how much work needs to be done. You can expect a 2+ page letter from me, with specific quotes/examples from the book, with a one-month turnaround.

  • The Tuesday Telegrams

    Twice a month, I send out a newsletter called the Tuesday Telegram. Part personal essays and part writing updates, this is the best way to stay in the loop with what I'm up to.
