I've decided to call this column 1000 Reviews. The inspiration for this comes from the fact that it has been said that to be a good writer, one has to have read at least 1000 books. Likewise, to be a good storyteller, it is perhaps necessary to read 1000 stories. I would like to go further than just reading - I think that reading a story alone is not enough. One has to analyse it, review it and be able to critically appraise a story. This, then, will be the aim of this column but with an emphasis on all manner of storytelling. With that in mind, certain things need to be pointed out:

• As this website caters for storytellers, this column will feature all manner of storytelling.

• We accept reviews written by other storytellers as well. Please note that we do not pay for reviews - view the form at the end of this page if you wish to submit your own review to us.

• There is no specific genre of stories reviewed here.
