About me
“We are like the herb which flourisheth most when trampled upon” -Sir Walter Scott Hello I am Rob and I am a middle school English teacher as well as an avid reader.

If you do me the honor of choosing me as a critique partner then you will receive an open and honest critiquing of your story. My goal is to make your writing as the Herb in Scott's Ivanhoe, art that has been tramped only so it can grow to the beauty it was meant to be.... Read more

    Rob was awesome, absolutely amazing. His level of professionalism was not expected, and he far exceeded what I thought a beta reader could do. He was direct, honest, and caught things that I had missed. And his comments held value; they weren't comments just to say things. He read the entire novel ahead...

    I ordered a review of 20 zines. I like his process because he allowed me into a shared google document format where I was able to check in with the document to see his progress through the process.

    This is my 2nd time using Rob's services, and it won't be the last. His attention to detail is exceptional, he's caught many manuscript issues other beta readers have missed, and his insight and knowledge on how a reader will respond to plot, prose, and character is by far the best I've seen. Would recommend 1000x over.

    In this age of AI pretending to be beta readers, you can’t beat the transparency of Rob’s live google doc beta readings. Not only is he a real human, he is a fast, efficient, effective human who is also a creative fiction writer himself, and it shows in his beta reading work. Rob gives the best writing...
