About Ross
Crafting stories is just the adult version of playing in a Kindergarten sandbox. My sandbox is epic science fiction—come and play!
Hello! I'm Ross. I live in the Pacific Northwest and go to bed dreaming of lasers, and space stations, and robots. It's a hard life.
This year, I decided to get serious about writing my first novel so I set up this web site as my main place to talk about writing craft, mindset hacks, productivity hacks, advertising, etc. Basically anything related to the making of my first debut hard science fiction novel. Readers and writers will get some unique coolness, I think.
My first 100 subscribers are guaranteed to get free access forever, but eventually I will have to charge for access so the site pays for itself. So subscribe now. Or you will wonder later if it was the worst decision of your life. (Hmm. Maybe I oversold that.) (Or maybe not?)
Book Readers will get:
- access to first drafts and the chance to offer feedback
- book reviews—both writing and non-writing
- a sometimes angry venting about how online sales is done so poorly that it leaves us all a little worse for wear
Book Writers will learn:
- How to run Meta ads using real case studies
- How to set up an Amazon Product page (image, title, blurb, etc.)
- My personal protips and hacks on mindset & Productivity
- Guidance around working with (or around) A.I. tools
- Inspiration for when you feel like writing is a pointless task
- Honest case studies on using writing apps like Scrivener, Omm Writer, Vellum, Google Docs, KD Spy, Rocket Publisher, etc.
- How to run a Kickstarter crowdfunding without pulling your hair out
And behold! My second and final not-so-thinly veiled attempt to get you to hop on my newsletter. In case you can't tell, I like snark. Because snark is fun. Look: just come into my world. Why you wait?
Access To All The Things
Hopping on my subscribers lists means you get access to everything I've done, and everything I will do. Which is a lot. Because I'm a little crazy. In a good way.
All The New things... to your in box
When I make something new, you hear about it double time. I mean, I push a button and you get it. Pretty much foolproof for me.
Meet people like you
Lots of people love sci fi. Including me. Obviously. Want to meet people who love lasers and space and robots and Dyson Spheres? I mean, who doesn't want to read about a Dyson Sphere? Plus, members can help me tip the scales on where my stories might go next...
