Lauren Cooke
Hi Everyone! My name is Lauren Cooke, and welcome to my page! OK, here is the quick low-down… I’m currently a marketing assistant in sunny Britain. I graduated in 2008 with a degree in Psychology, and I hope to end up in Advertising one day down the line! Alongside my 9-5 work I am a freelance blogger and feature writer. You can check out my personal fashion blog here, and my foodie blog here. If you fancy looking at my other work, I write vintage fashion articles for www.queensofvintage.com, and also write design articles for newbie design & interiors website www.largom.com. Outside of work, I’m addicted to holidays, vintage clothes, eBay, shoes, pretty antiques and dreaming about the house I will one day own. I’m also charmingly bonkers and quite off-the-wall!

Short stories versus the traditional longer-length novel
Type:
DebatesStatus:
CompletedUpdated on Jun 11, 2009It is a bit of a thorny issue amongst readers, writers and theorists worldwide. A matter of personal taste, and time restraints. Is it more satisfying to sit down to a chunky novel with wiggles and turns, resolutions and drawn out endings? Or is it nicer to devour a short story, straight and true, domain of the notorious cliffhanger or cruel twist?

What is best? Classic tales, or Modern fiction?

DebatesStatus:
CompletedUpdated on May 28, 2009Classic tales have been around for years, tried and tested with massive followings and strong storylines. Modern fiction is a newer phenomena, creating new writing styles, pushing the boundaries of text and narrative.
The question, course, remains - which is best?
