Literary creations written as short stories offer a dose of vigor and eloquence with greater force than acclaimed novels, and this manual teaches how to write a successful novella or short story. Great writers of all time have employed these techniques to develop magnificent stories condensed into few lines. However, to give meaning and depth to a seemingly simple plot with a small number of characters is a difficult task. Chapters of this guide focus on the omniscient narrators, suggestions to start a story, and the "perfect ending."
