Ronan offers truly unique and specific insight into disability in narrative as a professional reader by drawing on wide-ranging scholarship on this subject while still couching it within the context of lived experience. Ronan is able to read generously, with a sense of the author’s intent, but advocates clearly and thoughtfully for how story choices might be received by readers—and why it matters.

Ronan’s insights inspired me to envision my manuscript in a more informed and more compassionate way. With both big-picture ideas and scene-level improvements, their notes on disability were well-researched and well-considered in the context of the work, showing both their expertise on the subject and their commitment to helping make my story stronger.
