This list below gives a heads-up to some of those amazing collections you'll want to pick up ASAP, whether you're reading to become a better writer or simply to get away: 1. Leesa Cross-Smith is a homemaker and writer from Kentucky. Er, well, at least I am.Ī lot of male writers are known for their prolific short story collections, but so many female writers have dazzled me with their impeccable prose, too.
I’m not sure how that happened, but thinking back to the stories I’ve lost myself in over the past twelve months they’ve all beenin one way or anotherabout people being defiantly. It’s been a while since I read a novel that was so fully and entirely about people. She is represented by Kerry D'Agostino of Curtis Brown Ltd. Whiskey & Ribbons b y Leesa Cross-Smith Yael van der Wouden. She is co-founder/editor of a literary magazine called WhiskeyPaper. Vincent, having grown up as the privileged daughter of artists, has a lovely life in many ways. Now when I make time for a short, it’s like the adult version of “story time” - except I'm reading about things like tragic romances, dysfunctional families, and colonization. She is the author of WHISKEY & RIBBONS (Hub City Press, 2018) and EVERY KISS A WAR (Mojave River Press, 2014). An irresistible story of a woman remaking her life after her husband’s betrayal leads to a year of travel, art and passion in Paris, from the award-winning author of THIS CLOSE TO OKAY. I don’t write fiction these days, but short story collections are still in my regular reading rotation. She is longlisted for the 2021 Joyce Carol Oates Literary Prize. She is the author of So We Can Glow, Whiskey & Ribbons, Every Kiss A War, This Close to Okay and the forthcoming Half-Blown Rose from Grand Central Publishing. I read Fitzgerald’s Tales of the Jazz Age, Raymond Carver’s What We Talk About When We Talk About Love, and a stack of heavy anthologies I would study for language, structure, and dialogue. Leesa Cross-Smith is a homemaker and writer from Kentucky. For a while, I wanted to write fiction, and I thought sampling a little bit of everything was the way to go.
I’ve read short stories as tiny as three sentences, and they were incredible, breath-taking, and left me utterly stunned. I love a good short story - a world you can become fully immersed in, no matter how quick of a read it is. contact info: INQUIRIES/LITERARY AGENT, KERRY D’AGOSTINO: kd at INQUIRIES/PUBLICITY, ANDY DODDS: Andy.Dodds at social: TWITTER.
