Writing Flash Fiction: How to Write Very Short Stories and Get Them Published by Carly Berg

I was given a free copy of the book by the author in exchange for an honest review

«Writing Flash Fiction» is for certain worth reading if you are a newcomer in this genre, because it's likely to bring out the best in you.
It's not just a book, it's a toolbox to use, to refer to over and over again. The content is well-structured into the 10 main chapters. It outlines the concept of flash fiction, provides the ideas where to gain inspiration, hints on editing and publication. The style is crisp and eloquent, easy to perceive - the author has extremely fluent pen. The best advantage for me is that the author offers not just comprehensive technical advices, but some kind of positive psychological motivation and attitude as well. I enjoyed the accumulated crystallized experience and tough practice that I saw behind it. Overall, I feel that after the patient examination of the book you'll definitely get the hang of flash fiction writing, that is supposed to be the author's intention.
