Show Notes

In this episode I discuss some of the questions I have about sensitivity readers, their purpose, and what potential worries I have connected to art and publishing. I also discussed the recent bowdlerization of Roald Dahl and Agatha Christie's work after sensitivity readers provided feedback to the publishing companies who reserve the rights to reprint their work posthumously. 

Here are some links:
