Six Sentences (6S) is a webzine dedicated to the art of microflash fiction, a difficult art in the world of prose. Stories are told in just six sentences only - and what a wealth of stories: tales that evoke awe and beauty and sadness and outright guffaws. This is the first print anthology of these little gems by dozens of authors, some well-known, others hoping to be so.
A book you'll enjoy many times over, and one that belongs within easy reach. Peace, Linda

If writing is a muscle, SixSentences is Gold's Gym; it's where strong writers congregate to exercise (in sets of 6 reps, of course), improve their form, share secrets, and maybe to show off a little, too. To admire the physiques of a talented group of writers, peel open a Powerbar and check out 6SV1.

6S has given voice to an international audience and exposure to many, many international writers-this is such a great idea. A literary tradition made anew by an extremely gifted and generous editor, Rob McEvily. Written by Joseph Grant via Rebecca.

What fun this book is! Thought-provoking too. I enjoyed reading all of the stories. The range and variety is amazing, and the editor did a superb job organizing and formatting it into a wonderfully readable text.

Excellent book compilation of short stories (six sentences!) from a wonderful web blog. Highly recommended, especially for writers who want to "tighten up their work." See [...]
Here are six sentences I came across that I hope will be included in the next edition (I'm not the author):
Title: "It's not my Mom"
Well Mom leaves early so it's just Zero the friend and I. Already I've bugged a bit this evening because I've seen Zero sit and pout and complain about his Mom; it was kind of like watching myself. I was disappointed that it still seemed to have so much control over him after all these years. It seemed that that's the way it would always be. Why was that bothering me though - not my problem, right? It's not my Mom.

I bought this book because it has stories published by a friend and one by myself. I have read it cover to cover and thought the stories were phenominal. My only reservation when buying it was the price because it is up there. Other than that, great writing and a good variety of stories and genres.
