Sensitivity reader for thriller novel; character with cerebral palsy

Posted 2 weeks ago

I'm looking for a reliable, experienced sensitivity reader for my 88K word medical thriller novel. One of the characters is a teenage boy with cerebral palsy who spends most of his waking hours in a wheelchair.

I will deliver the manuscript in MS Word, double spaced, Times New Roman, with chapter headings.

I'm not looking for copyediting, proofreading, developmental editing, or beta-reading. I have sought that kind of help through other means.

REQUIREMENTS:

(1) 7 day turnaround time
(2) Provide a written report on your overall assessment of how sensitively and accurately Calvin is portrayed.
(3) Use the Track Changes feature in MS Word to point out specific areas of concern and provide constructive suggestions on how to improve his portrayal. If you see something you like, point that out also :)

BRIEF INTRO:

Dr. Peter Palma from Houston can’t take it anymore. Though he's only 32, the burden of his patients’ suffering has driven him to the brink of quitting medicine. In a last-ditch effort to resuscitate his career, he takes a job as a physician on a cruise ship from Copenhagen to New York. He boards the Paradise expecting to treat healthy passengers for minor ailments. Trouble begins when a teenager leaps to his death on the pool deck. Then his sister shows up, an unwelcome reminder of their brother’s fatal overdose. Not the kind of first day he envisioned. They're all in for a hell of a ride as passengers and crew members unleash a maelstrom of violence and chaos. With the ship bearing down on an unprepared New York, Peter uncovers a sinister plot that threatens to obliterate the foundations of civilization, one victim at a time. Will he succumb to a twisted gospel that resonates with his deepest cravings? Or will he battle through delirium and deliver the justice that the world needs?
