SENSITIVITY READER

BETA READER

Hi! My name is Natalie. I'm a lifelong reader and writer based out of the United States. In addition to being a sensitivity reader for English Proper--focusing primarily on lesbian representation--I'm also an administrative assistant for English Proper. You just might see some emails from me depending on the services you book with us.

When I'm not writing or reading (or working through a mountain of emails), you will almost always find me at a movie theater, playing with my dogs, or eating something sweet.

ADMIN

COPY EDITOR

PROOFREADER

BETA READER

Hi! I'm Katie, a lifelong New Englander. Along with being an admin assistant for English Proper, I'm also a proofreader and copy editor. Outside of EP, I'm a self-published author with a fantasy trilogy already under my belt, and more to come! I love anything fantasy, historical fiction, mystery, and all the classics.

Writing stories and working for EP are my greatest passions and joys, but otherwise, I can be found with my cat and dog watching Gilmore Girls, swooning over Mr. Darcy, and exploring abandoned locations with my partner.

PROOFREADER

Hey, I’m Evelyn! I’m a freelance copy editor and proofreader from the south coast of the UK. I’ve been working with indie romance authors for nearly a decade now and particularly enjoy the steamier, darker, kinkier side of the genre. 

When I’m not editing, I’m travelling, ultra running, or diving into Roman archaeology — often all at once! On a typical evening, you’ll find me curled up with a romance novel, a glass of wine, and my cat.

PROOFREADER

I am Chloe and I have always had a huge passion for reading and all things bookish. From a young age I have been an avid reader and often stayed up well into the night just so I could get to the end of a particularly intriguing chapter, much to the detriment of my sleep habits. I work with all genres, but my favourites are definitely any types of romance and most of my experience has been with dark romance. 

My "fun" fact is that while working on my proofreads I read the book aloud, which can often lead to weird looks from my partner when I forget I'm not home alone and have just said some rather "interesting" words from a dark romance novel.

PROOFREADER

Hi! I'm Tavleen, a freelance editor from India. With a bachelor's degree in English and experience at a traditional publishing house, I've been an editor for over five years. I love working with indie authors because I truly believe that everyone who wishes to write deserves the chance to share their story with the world. While I work across all genres, I particularly enjoy editing romance, fantasy, and memoirs. When I’m not poring over manuscripts, you’ll find me writing poetry and personal essays, or watching K-dramas!

PROOFREADER

BETA READER

Hi, I’m Cori! I’m a freelance editor for all genres of fiction, but I especially love YA and mild-spice romance.

In my spare time, you can find me drinking a vanilla latte at your local coffee shop or browsing a second-hand store. If I’m not editing, I’m probably at the gym training for my first bodybuilding show!

Hey, I’m Jasmine! I’m a freelance proofreader originally from Washington who moved to sunny Arizona chasing sunshine and new adventures. I help indie romance authors polish their stories in the final stretch, bringing out the details that make every page flow, shine, and connect with readers—especially when the story has a little heat.

When I’m not working, I’m spending time with my kids, seeking little thrills, or finding little pockets of chaos, laughter, and joy in everyday life.

Hello! Sarah here—writer, book editor, and sensitivity reader hailing from a small town in southern India and now based in the U.A.E. I’ve been in the book industry for over a year now, sharing my love for books and helping authors publish my next favorite. I love everything speculative, fictional, and romantic, but I also indulge in mysteries and thrillers all the same.

I’m mostly cooped up at my desk working on my clients’ books, but when I do have the time, you’ll find me exploring my design skills (I have the attitude that I’m the next Picasso when all I can do is open Adobe and stare—y’know, with everything being digital nowadays), writing my debut novel (which I promise I will write soon), or just straight up acting like I have all the time in the world (which I don’t).

SENSITIVITY READER

Hey, I'm Brittany! I'm a sensitivity reader and author who currently resides in the PNW. I've been a part of the online book community as a reader and cheerleader since 2021. My reading preferences are dark romance, urban romance, single dad, erotica, forbidden, and last but not least exes dad. 

When I'm not reading or writing you can find me chasing around my minions, baking, coloring, playing pokemon, running for fun, and drinking coffee.

Hey, I’m Tamara!🌝

I’m a writer and teacher from Europe, currently working in education where I teach History and Philosophy/Ethics. I’m drawn to stories that explore the human mind through emotion, culture, and a hint of darkness.

When I’m not writing or teaching, you’ll probably find me wandering through castles, reading about 18th- and 19th-century Europe or old Japan, and sketching out new book ideas over a cup of coffee.

Hi, everyone! I'm Kay, a sensitivity reader from New Jersey. While I'm a lifelong reader, I started to work with indie authors in early 2024. I've loved finding stories from all sorts of genres, especially romances. Even though I've found some fun sci-fi dystopian stories, thrilling mysteries, and morally gray villains to root for in dark romances, my heart is always a little extra full reading contemporary romances. 

Reading and editing are such a huge part of my life, but not the only thing I like to spend my time doing. I'm a gamer, currently addicted to Pokémon Puzzle League; such a regular traveler that I can now hop on a plane with just my backpack and not stress out about it; and a bit of a cozy hobby hopper because crocheting, digital art, knitting, and painting all require a level of patience to learn that I only sometimes have. On a typical night, however, you can find me gossiping on the phone with my partner, with a movie or TV show playing in the background, and a hot chai in my hands.

SENSITIVITY READER

Hey, I’m Bri! I’m a sensitivity reader from the south of Texas. I’ve been working with indie romance authors first as an alpha or beta reader, which inspired me to become an indie author myself. I am currently writing under two pen names, writing from taboo, dark and forbidden, all the erotic spiciness, and contemporary romance. 

When I’m not editing, I’m writing, creating on Canva, catching up on some TV shows and watching new movies, crocheting, or anything artistic. On a typical evening, you’ll find me curled up reading a spicy little taboo novella and some water with Magnesium in my little reading nook.

SENSITIVITY READER 

Hello, I’m Elena ! I’m a sensitivity reader based on the sunny south coast of Spain, but I'm Italian. For the past ten years I've developed my writing craft and helped fellow authors through beta reading, sensitivity reading and content pull. 

I primarily work across romance (all subgenres), fantasy, and women’s literature, helping authors craft stories that feel vivid, sensitive, and true to life.

When I’m not reading or editing, you’ll likely find me travelling, spending time at the beach, writing my own books, reading my fellow indie authors books, playing with my dogs, hiking with my boyfriend or just daydreaming about new books that I could write.
