I have just ordered your e-book ... WOW! did I enjoy. I heard a lot of wisdom coming from your printed words and look forward to reading the rest of your book. From what I've read so far, I know that I'm in for a treat.
1000 Reviews
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.
