What others have said about me, my work, and my companies:
"Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! A wonderfully inpsiring event for writing, but also the spirit. Congrats Tia! You're a star! [BWRC] was a raging success on every level and has given me ideas for our own Aboriginal Writers Conference in Wollongong this year. Thank you for allowing me to be part of the program - to share, to listen, to learn and to grow as a writer."
–Dr. Anita Heiss, Coordinator of the AustLit - Black Words, Director of Gadigal Information Services and Koori Radio, and Chair of the Australian Society of Authors
"My sister, you have given so much to writers and to the writing life. You know I wish you all the very best! It has been my pleasure and blessing to win a good number of awards, but still one of my most favorite was winning the Gold Pen Award for Best Inspirational in 2001--there's nothing like getting love from your own family! Blessings to you."

"[The] video [is] a wonderful reminder of how fantastic the conference is, has been and will continue to be. I'm so thankful to received the information and encouragement I needed to turn my "hobby" into a career back at the first conference and I'm honored to be able to sow back into BWRC and a whole new host of enthusiastic and talented writers with my literary law workshops.
Keep shining, Diva.

"Tia, I hope you know that your and your staff organized a fabulous convention. I came away with so much information! Thank you! BWR&C is changing lives."
–Alicia Williams
"Tia, you did an amazing job putting on this conference!"
–Lauren Brown Jarvis
"Since its inception, Tia's Black Writers Reunion & Conference has been considered by many to be an unparalleled example of what a writers’ conference should be—an event filled with fluidity, distinction, and value. Tia is an inspiration due to her dedication to and success in empowering others to pursue their dreams. She has envisioned and brought into fruition a movement that is positive, meaningful, uplifting, inspirational, and thoroughly professional—all at the same time."
–C. Dawson
"I don’t think I’ve attended a conference that could hold a candle to the BWRC [Black Writers Reunion & Conference]. It was well planned and organized. Everything that was on the agenda to take place did. We walked away with an abundance of information."
–Joylynn Jossel
"When I consider the word “influential,” it is one that is of considerable importance or influence. Tia Ross has shown herself to be one of the most influential women in and out of her community by the way she has taken her love for what she does and incorporated it into educating and enlightening others with the same passion. She has encouraged and inspired many to do what they love and, most importantly, she has given them the tools needed to make it happen."
–Shirley Austin
"A master at web design, an editor, and a document guru with a phenomenal ability to coordinate and plan events, Tia's ability to multi-task is beyond measure. She has encouraged and influenced me in many ways, not only as a successful black woman myself, but also in personal areas of my life. Tia has also given me the strength and encouragement to begin writing and journaling my autobiography, which I hope to publish as well, someday."
–Jackie Adams
"Vision is an extraordinary event to witness. It involves, passion, diligence, structure, dedication, and a little bit of hell raising to accomplish your goals. This is the legacy of Tia Ross. A multitalented person with a pool of resources, support, and guidance, ready and available to help others envision, create and live out their dreams."
–Patricia Haley
"The BWRC can only be described as a total EXPERIENCE. I have been to a number of conferences, both black and white, and none came close to what I experienced in Dallas. I walked away feeling renewed, revived and rededicated to the craft of writing."
–ReShonda Tate Billingsley
"BWRC allowed me to hear the struggles of the other writers and helped me know that I wasn’t alone. I was in the great company of some powerful people who needed the same push that I needed. I was able to do something I had not ever done in my life and that was to actually let people read my writing. Tia has helped increase my confidence in myself and my writing. For me, that is something that I’ve never had in my life from friends or family."
–Christie Michelle

I thank you, thank you, thank you for doing what looked and felt like the impossible!"

–Karen Kizzee Harkey, Headmistress, Choices Leadership Academy

–Francis Ray
"We were looking for advice and evaluations that would separate our website from the rest of the field. Tia provided our company with the critique we needed to move in that direction. Not only did she make suggestions, but she also pinpointed common mistakes found on most websites. After consulting with such a creative professional, Carter-Krall Publishers is poised to attract global consumers."
–Brian Egeston

"As a beginning writer, I'd heard several scary stories about editing services and was a bit leery with whom I trusted with my work. I also wanted an editor that truly understood African-American writing. Pentouch proved to be a valuable resource for me, as well as a one-stop shop for other literary services, including career advisement, help with finding an agent, and information about publishing houses and printers.
"Your eagle eye has saved me much embarrassment! I can't believe the mistakes I missed even after reading my brochure myself numerous times before sending it to Tia."
–Jessica Mims
The service that I have received from Pentouch has been incredible with superb efficiency, fast project turnarounds, and cost-effective services. I sincerely TRUST the consultants at Pentouch and, under their guidance and professional expertise, have seen a vast improvement in my writing. Pentouch really cares about developing and furthering the literary careers of its clients."
–Erika McCarden
"My boss has been so impressed with my reports and how well written they are. I could never have done it without you!"
–John Adeyemo
"Thank you for being my editor. I only wish that I had met you sooner. I was impressed by the depth of your edit. You pointed out things that made me want to hit myself in the hand, wondering why I did that."
–Natasha Usher
"A manuscript is an investment. It is a statement forever attributable to your name. After you have slaved over it, sweated over it, and prayed over it, the last thing you need is mediocre editing. Thank you for transforming my manuscript from a diamond in the rough to a polished gem."
–Jamellah Ellis
"I found the work performed on my manuscript extremely helpful, professional, and demonstrated insight only gained from a seasoned editor. I have every intention to use your service again in the near future."
–Clifton Weaver

–Yolanda C. Brooks
"I was stymied on how to set just the right tone for a business letter I was writing. After going over it again and again, I called Tia. She immediately zeroed in on the purpose of my letter and the message I wanted to convey. She revamped my letter to effectively relay what I wanted to say and I got the results I wanted."
–Adrienne Johnson
