Finding Ms. Write Kindle Edition

by Jae (Editor), Jove Belle (Editor) Format: Kindle Edition
4.5 out of 5 stars 35 ratings
Twelve authors of lesbian fiction bring you a collection of romantic short stories about “book people”—heroines who are somehow involved in the publishing industry.
From a novelist with the world’s biggest crush on her editor to a beta reader connecting with her cabinmate on a cruise, from a woman seeking rare books who finds love instead to a bookstore owner who’s drawn to the shy writer sitting by the shop’s window every day, this anthology is full of stories guaranteed to have a happy ending.
Step into our world of books and enjoy a glimpse into the lives of writers who are chasing deadlines…and finding love.

Includes stories by A.L. Brooks, Anastasia Vitsky, Chris Zett, Cori Kane, Elaine Burnes, Hazel Yeats, Jacelle Scott, Jae, Jove Belle, Kathy Brodland, Lea Daley, and Melissa Grace.

    Jae is the author of twenty-six award-winning sapphic romances. She lives in the sunniest city of Germany, near the French and Swiss borders. The writing bug bit her at the age of eleven.

    She used to work as a psychologist but gave up her day job in 2013 to become a full-time writer and a part-time editor. As far as she’s concerned, it’s the best job in the world.

    When she’s not writing, she is an avid reader of sapphic books, indulges her ice cream and stationery addictions, and watches way too many crime shows.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Mostly well done but sort of depressing?
    Reviewed in the United States on June 30, 2016

    I really respect and like Jae's writing as well as Jove and even Ylva as a publishing house, so I had high hopes for this compilation. It's mostly well written though the perspective of the characters in the final story was highly confusing at times. It wasn't great though. Pleasant but nothing spectacular. What's more, it was actually sort of depressing. This may come across as insensitive, but frankly too many of the stories revolved around people well over the age of fantasy type sexy. They had hip problems, Alzheimers, used canes, dealing with death of loved ones, etc... Not that this isn't real life, and not that diversity in literature isn't important, but it just seemed overwhelmingly geared towards the 60+ demographic which I wasn't expecting. I read books like this for escapism, and instead it was rather despondent. Instead of just being a fun quick read, it was like being forced to sit down and listen to a group therapy session of super traumatic and depressing life events.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Great stories about book lovers who love book lovers
    Reviewed in the United States on August 15, 2017
    Story collections like this one are an excellent way to sample authors who are unfamiliar to the reader; I have a few new authors to add to my ‘read more of their work’ list thanks to Finding Ms Write and a greater appreciation for the talents of authors I am already familiar with.
    This collection of short stories, like others published by Ylva, offers up a variety of authors telling stories that center around a theme of some kind. Here it’s the love of books, and the assortment of characters and plotlines is impressive in its diversity. Some are laugh out loud funny, others more serious; I enjoyed them all. I also appreciated that some of the characters in the stories were older or had mobility challenges; it was a refreshing change to not read exclusively about young fit perfect women.
    I recommend this collection to any reader who loves books because you are sure to find a glimpse, if not a full reflection, of yourself (or someone you know) in at least one of these stories’ characters, along with some new authors to potentially read in the future. I hope that Ylva continues to release more theme based short story collections like this in the future, a sampler platter of their talented authors.
    I received a copy of this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.

    4.0 out of 5 stars fun and charming set of short stories written by an ...
    Reviewed in the United States on July 22, 2016
    This is an amusing, fun and charming set of short stories written by an array of lesbian authors, some well known, others less so. The tone is light and the content entertaining, all based, of course, around writers, editors and publishers.

    From a night of passion with a stranger on a cruise to a long-term partner trying out new things, the stories are a mix of fantasy and reality. There are also a mixture of age and experience, from young professionals to older women and established couple’s, which makes for a refreshing change.

    The stories have various appeals, this isn’t erotica, it's romance, and varies from soft explicit to fade to black. Having been to Con I do feel we ned a follow up from a certain author/editor...

    I found them well written and enjoyable reads, if you like romance and enjoy short stories this is definitely for you.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Great short story collection
    Reviewed in the United States on July 30, 2016
    I tend to have a love/hate relationship with short story collections. Typically they'll have two stories I love, another two or three I love, a few I hate, and then a range of "meh" in between. Not so with Finding Ms. Write. It's a solid collection of books I liked or loved. No "meh" or stories I hated anywhere in there.

    I received a free copy from the publisher for an honest review at The Lesbian Review.
