Yes, They’re Real is a uniquely provocative collection of short stories from up-and-coming authors in Northeast Florida. The twelve original works are forever linked by each author’s perspective of what the genre can resemble and their personal vision of the journey that takes place while writing creative nonfiction.
This edition is the eBook version of the paperback.
Stories by Sam Bilheimer, Sarah Block, Summer Brooks, Thomas Eadie, JJ Grindstaff, April Hutchinson, Benjamin Liff, Heather Peters, Matt Randall, Michael Selvester, Travis Wildes and Andrew Wilkins. With a special Introduction from Mark Ari.
"There is terrific work in this collection. Such distinct voices. Such varied approaches to putting thoughts into words. But because these authors have worked shoulder-to-shoulder in the same workshops, they are bound together in a unique way. Better than most they understand the work of art—the story, the essay—as a meeting place, a means of connection, a chink cut into the bone crust between writer and reader to let leak, retina to retina, the light of singular minds." — MARK ARI, from the introduction
