Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?
It was ok. It was useful if you're looking for advice on storytelling. I was looking for advice on structuring narrative non-fiction. So it wasn't that the book was bad, it just wasn't ideal for what I wanted.Has Long Story Short turned you off from other books in this genre?
No, definitely not.What about Margot Leitman’s performance did you like?
She had a nice, accessible style.Do you think Long Story Short needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?
NoAverage, Not What I was Looking For

Most stories that were given as an example contained way too many details and inner monologue. The humor wasn’t funny and it almost seemed “try hard” for lack of better words.
In the end the basic structure helped a little but the value of the book declined with all of the less than helpful stories provided.
Good not great

I am starting this all over again to work on her directed exercises. I also think this will help my fictional work too, though Ms. Leitman explicitly states that is NOT her aim in this book.
Margot helps you tell your stories... better.

All this becomes more unbearable as you pass the midpoint of the book.
No Margaret, we don’t all feign passion for things we don’t care about or salivate over the far left publications that you admire.
Some good points if you can ignore the self assured smugness
