3.0

Curiously, only the very first chapter talks specifically about short stories. And that is "read more short stories" or the amount of words in one. Not exactly thrilling, is it?

The rest of the book can be applied to any kind or size of writing. And those counsels were pretty good, but the title is misleading, it doesn't focus on short stories, it even gives examples of long length novels.

I guess it would be a pretty good book for beginner writers, but again, be warned that the title is a bit misleading.
