Writing Publishable (Short) Stories An interactive workshop for writers ISBN 0-9756729-0-8 Written by Award Winning Australian Author Cheryl Wright Get PAID to write short stories!
(This book became a number one best seller within four weeks of its release!)
As a new writer, I wanted to write short stories.
I scoured the bookshops, but couldnt find anything to teach me how to write them. I read gazillions of short stories and bought a ton of books on writing, but still couldnt find anything specifically geared toward writing short stories. It was a hard slog; without even a little bit of guidance, I felt like I was drowning. Even today, there is virtually nothing available that focuses totally on short story writing. And lets face it, writing short stories is completely different to writing novels, or any other form of writing. Its a specialised area, and if you dont understand the concepts, you just wont sell your work. (And thats what were all aiming for, right?) Last year after earning more than $500 on the sale of just one story, I decided to write the book that I needed back in those early days. "Cheryl Wright has written a wonderful book covering the basics: developing characters, setting the scene, writing and selling short stories. It is an invaluable resource for people seeking financial success for their fiction writing." --Sarah White, freelance writer and editor, and author of Doing the Write Thing: The Easy Way to Self-Edit" I dont know about you, but Im one of those people who learns by doing, not being told, so the book was written as an interactive workshop you will work your way through using the summary and exercise in each section. You will be guided through every stage of writing your story, learn to brainstorm better outcomes, build realistic characters, give your character a unique voice, prepare your manuscript, and much, much more. I will teach you to:
Create Memorable Characters Create Authentic Settings Fit your Character to his/her Surroundings Physical Appearance vs.
Imagination Write Realistic Dialogue Use Action Tags Find Outstanding Ideas Use Point of View Write Dazzling Opening Sentences Use Emotion, Conflict, and Motivation (and the differences between them)
Write a Twist at the End Create Stunning Titles Show, Dont Tell that annoying term that comes up all the time, but no-one ever bothers to explain (Take a sneak peak at the contents by clicking here)
Ive also included many of my secret formulas and my thoughts on marketing and setting goals. Ive even provided some markets to get you started. Using snippets from my own work as examples, I show you exactly how I do it. Theres no technical jargon or incomprehensible information; its all explained in a way that is easily understood. If youre looking for a book that will simply tell you what to do, youve chosen the wrong book!
This book could easily have sold for $29.95 even more, but Ive chosen to keep it affordable for all writers at all income levels. (Why? Because when I was starting out, I simply couldnt afford the tools I needed; I dont want to put anyone else in that same position.)
This just might be the best US$8.95 you will spend all year!

You've got to love a book that begins with Creating Memorable Characters chapters before you even begin Finding Ideas. You can't go wrong when you begin with a three-dimensional character!
If you answer every question as you read through, you're story practically writes itself!" Jennifer L Baum, New Jersey I felt like Cheryl was in the room with me, helping me to visualize my character. Plus it was friendly and understanding, not know-it-all and far-away-from-me-the-beginner-writer. The language Cheryl used was easy to read and understand. No fancy jargon, just honest advice from an honest writer. Susannah Eve (Windsor,Ontario)
