Because I am an author and a developmental editor, I will no longer write and share 1, 2, or (some) 3-star book reviews of the novels I've read.
As an author, I know the hard work that goes into writing a novel. The mental debate about scenes and/or plot points. The decisions about deleting something or adding something new. The anxiety about whether it's good enough once the final draft is complete.
As a developmental editor, I understand the struggles that writers face with their work. I enjoy my role as an editor steering writers in the right direction with their novel(s) before publication.
Therefore, I will no longer write reviews for novels that I didn't care for much.
