Matthew Salesses

“You should ask macro questions and point out macro opportunities. Which means, for example, you might state your understanding (or not) of the story, list observations that seem especially juicy, ask questions about what certain actions or images mean, ask questions about specific characters, open the door to new possibilities in the plot or arc or theme or so on, etc. Never skimp on the questions in favor of suggestions. Making observations and asking questions are more about the author; suggestions are more about the workshopper.”
