Have you ever wanted to write a short story? Well, follow the wisdom in this book and I bet you'll be writing one before you know it. KS Tan starts out defining a short story, gives a few examples of some well-know ones, though he missed my favorite: The Ransom of Red Chief. I loved his reference to serial novels as "The Short Story's Siblings." He then goes on to explain exactly what makes up a good short story in a step-by-step fashion that anyone should be able to follow. This book is insightful and will give you the confidence to sit down and write your own short story. A good way to start is by reading this book.
