Testimonials

  • “Ceneta’s services are vital for literary agents working in the marketplace today.  When it was clear that a sensitivity read would be appropriate for the project I was preparing for submission, I reached out to Ceneta.  Not only does Ceneta have incredible industry expertise, she is one of the most well read individuals I have ever met.  Most importantly, she has innate knowledge for how to improve an author’s story in order to ensure a manuscript is not offensive or depicting harmful stereotypes.  Ceneta is perceptive and very attentive to detail.  The books are better because of her close read.  I also appreciate her process for sharing her feedback with me and the author.  It is a pleasure to work with Ceneta and I will enthusiastically continue to use her services for future projects.”

  • “After Ceneta Williams added her expertise, my debut novel was quickly picked up by a major publisher. Ceneta’s gift for story, clarity and flow are unmatched by any editor or book developer I have ever worked with. I highly recommend her services for any new or veteran author looking to better shape their novel or non-fiction manuscript for mass market.”

  • “Ceneta Williams is a clear-eyed reader, and she offers cogent feedback, the kinds of truth a writer needs to hear. And she has the grace and insight of a life-coach, someone you trust implicitly.  She helped me understand my blind spots in short fiction that included characters outside of my lived experience and helped me to see and represent them more fully and with greater sensitivity.”

  • “Ceneta brings immense experience working in the publishing industry to her work as a sensitivity reader and deeply insightful editor. She is an incredibly close and thoughtful reader, and her work will only improve the scope and authenticity of any manuscript. I could not recommend her more.”
