What makes a good story? That’s what Christina Boyd, editor of Quill Ink Blog, wanted to know.  I have thought about this question a lot, as someone who makes (and consumes) stories all the time. A good story has many layers. It can be read again and again any one always gets something out of it. The best stories allow readers to get different things out of the text at different points in their lives.

I also think that meta-storytelling makes a great story. Stories that KNOW that they’re stories. Or refer to the reader. Or use the medium of the book in unique ways.
