Doing the Write Thing

Susan Berliner has always been a writer. But this book is different: It's not a supernatural thriller. It's not a collection of weird short stories. It's about Susan.

Entertaining long-ago journal entries (Diary of a Young Reporter) partner with oodles of quirky short takes like these:

       * attending a Hasidic bar mitzvah (The Goyisher Table)

       * floundering at the bottom of the alphabet (Growing Up "W")

       * socializing at a college houseplan party (When Susan Met Harriet)

       * nearly losing her job-twice (Ready, Aim-Fire?)

       * book signing escapades (The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly)
