What
They're Saying About
The Short Review
"We
are heartened that there’s a place
on the web dedicated to highlighting the best there is in short story
writing. The Short Review
site proprietor Tania Hershman should be well-known to those who
patronise literary blogs with any regularity - she is extremely active
on the scene, and though her site may only just be celebrating it’s
first anniversary, her love and passion for the short story have
already brought The Short Review Internet acclaim.
In
short
(pardon the pun), with interviews, reviews and features in abundance
this is definitely the place to go if you want to keep your finger on
the short story pulse."
"...this
user-friendly site provides a
much needed platform for original reviews
of
story collections and
anthologies. ...
including links to reviews by other publications,
for quick, easy
access to more opinions. The simple, clean design makes navigating your
way around the site very easy and the "if you liked this you might also
like' link attached to each review is a helpful addition."
"As
so little (except the obvious) is reviewed in the national press these
days it is good to be reviewed (at all). The Short Review fulfils a
sorely needed 'function' in this way, and your reviewer was clearly
enthusiastic and interested."
John Saul, author of As
Rivers Flow
"...
I love and admire what you all are doing at The Short Review. As a big
fan of short stories myself, it's great to find others who feel as
strongly about them."
Kevin Watson, Founder and Fiction Editor, Press
53
"...an invaluable resource.
Reviews are intelligent, comprehensive and precise, guiding visitors
towards new reading experiences.The site itself is wel-designed - easy
to navigate, and, be warned, addictive."
Cadenza Magazine
Issue 18, April 2008
"As a
fan of the short story, this seems like a great idea and I'll be
returning often."

"I cannot express enough how much I
appreciate
the work you’ve put
into creating the list of short story collections to be published this
year. So often I have found myself in search of one, hungry to read new
collections, and I’m glad to see I’m not the only
one out there who
thinks a list like this should exist. Because of your list, I found two
short story writers I had not heard of before, Neil Smith and Dave
Housley. I read samples of their work on the web and from that alone, I
went and bought their collections. I don’t think I would have
found
these writers otherwise.
Thank you, thank you."
