Working with Ross was the best decision I could have made for my novel! She is a wonderful sensitivity reader and gave me great feedback on representation, particularly about writing women and queer characters, but that was far from the only way she helped improve the story. Her analysis and critique have taught me so much about writing and storytelling that I never would have learned on my own. Like many new writers, I was nervous about opening up my book to criticism, but I didn't have to worry about a thing. Ross was kind, encouraging, and most importantly, honest. She never pulled punches with her critique but also took the time to highlight what worked, giving me confidence in my writing along with a much-needed reality check. She prompted me to think more deeply about the story I am trying to tell and gave me incredibly helpful writing advice, pinpointing my worst habits as a writer--many of which I wasn't even aware of. All of this is especially impressive given that my story is over 200k words. To give consistently insightful, skillful, and meaningful critique over the course of such a long project is a Herculean feat! Her work ethic is truly astounding, and I am still in awe of what she did for my book. Ross' advice has and will continue to help me grow as a writer and storyteller; it will guide my future creative endeavors. That kind of guidance is truly invaluable. I would recommend her wholeheartedly to any writer, whether new and nervous like myself or more experienced. I guarantee that she will help you improve your story and your prose in ways you couldn't have imagined.
