Do You Have a Story?



By Samantha M.
What's Your Story?; A Young Person's Guide to Writing Fiction by Marion Dane Bauer is an informative and simple guide, that helps out first time writers. Step by step, Bauer tells how to create a short story by using easy to follow explanations and understandable language. Also, she provides reassuring advice throughout each step, giving you a sense of confidence as you work your way through writing your first short story.


The author, Marion Dane Bauer, has written roughly seventy six published books, most of which are children's books and short stories.These include  The Kissing Monster, A Bear Named Trouble, The Secrets of the Painted House, and many more.
Personally, I very much enjoyed this guide. I felt it was informative and patient and very easy to follow. I did not struggle to understand any of the chapters or the information provided. I thought this book was well written and very useful.
I would recommend this book to anyone who is struggling to start or is wanting to start writing a short story. The steps are easy to follow and makes writing a short story seem easy and fun. You can find this book online or in your local library.
