Customer Reviews

The advice to writers AND the stories included were AWESOME!

I'm not a short story reader - I don't like 'em... really never have. So when M.E. Kerr's book came out - I was skeptical about buying it. Then I read a review, and decided to give it a chance. Thankfully I did! I learned not only tips on how to write better, but I learned how to pull a story together. What makes a story tick and I learned - most importantly - that everyone has a voice - you just have to find it. Now I'm ready and willing and maybe able to try my hand at writing a short story. If I can be half as successful as Ms. Kerr - life would be good!!
