Had to stop with an hour left. Felt like, "what more could you say??"

Did learn some things, and her performance was great

Too long

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?

No

Average, Not What I was Looking For

Overall the book provides the basics on how to structure a story and outlines important details one can include to give stories life, but I wasn’t a fan of the example stories given.

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

Fantastic complete course on becoming a master storyteller. Listen to this with a notebook in hand and practice her fun suggestions. As she points out, "everything in life is either a good time or a good story." Chock full of self-deprecating personal stories, this is one of those rare books where there is beautiful harmony between the form and the content. I mean, it is a well-told personal story about telling well-told personal stories. Long Story Short is full of fun and humor, and concise hard-hitting advice from a veteran award winning storyteller and comedian. A must read, even for those who are just curious or want to appreciate the art of listening to well-told stories. And of course, only the author could have read it so well.

How to tell true fun stories about yourself

This books really pumped me up to be a better story teller and made me realized that I could work on bettering myself in other ways. I was so inspired i sign up for her real class in Los Angeles. Class starts January, 2017, I’ll update my review once the class is over but this book is a must read. I want to be able to improve on my interview skills and public speaking at work.

Amazing and inspiring!

just finished my 3rd listen. the exercises are perfect rudiments to start with. we all have stories, even if the urge to tell them or the confidence to compose them has been beaten out of you by someone like a parent or teacher. (inner monologue: was that too much sharing?) she leaves the breadcrumbs to slowly find your way and bring these amazing stories back. thank you Margot.

she does herself justice!

I found this one of the best storytelling audible books I have ever listened to, as Margot is profoundly expert at her material AND her delivery. She's a storyteller telling a story about how to tell stories better. Practical and just perfect.

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.

So many good tips on storytelling. I didn’t want it to end. I’m going to listen again and apply the instructions for each chapter.

I couldn’t get enough!

I spent a good 10 or 15 minutes shopping on audible.com for a how to guide to storytelling. I found this book hilarious, engaging, touching, and very practical. The author maintained a brilliant balance between anecdote and advice. I loved it and would love to take a workshop led by her. I can't imagine a better book to get me started on the path to turning my tales into engaging stories.

what an excellent find

Margret Leitman comes from an overly self assured sex in the city world who thinks that the rest of the planet is the same. Many of her ideas can resonate outside the smug cosmopolitan life she inhabits, but her cockiness is still off putting.
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
