"FanStory works! For anyone who has the determination, heart and soul to write, FanStory is the site to hone your skills and work towards becoming published. I want to thank all of the members who supported me along the way to achieve that goal. I premiered my novel, "Fatal Beauty" on Fanstory 2013-14 and subsequently, from reviews and query letters found an agent/publisher for the book. Without FanStory, I would never have been able to succeed." - Bob Hartson
"I would like to share a recent published story. The Chicken Soup for the Soul group published a story of mine called "Already Blessed". It will be released in August of 2013 under a subtitle of "From Lemons to Lemonade". The story was originally posted on Fanstory. I don't think I would have gotten published without all of help from my FanStory friends!" - Bill Hogg
