How to Write a Short Story that Works
Book Author Michael Allen
DescriptionTHIS BOOK WILL show you how to write a short story that works. A short story that works is a story which, at the end, makes a reader chuckle, or rings a tear to the reader’s eye, or makes the reader’s jaw drop open in amazement. In other words, it’s a story that generates emotion. The story works in the sense that it makes the reader feel something. The more powerful that feeling or emotion is, the more likely it is that a story might win a prize, or persuade someone to publish it, or cause them to recommend it to someone else – the so-called word-of-mouth effect.
