In The Writer's Story by Cory J. Schulman, Barry Penman (Bic) is a 50-year-old technical writer. Bic is also an author who can create something out of nothing in just a few minutes. One day, Bic sees a woman named Marisa on a dating app and contacts her. They agree to meet at a local Starbucks. A few minutes into the date, their conversation moves from the history of their relationships to religion, God, marriage, and abortion. They realize they come from two completely different ways of thinking and living. Marisa is a psychologist and rabbi, and Bic is an atheist. Can they last for a promising future? Cory J. Schulman is a failed novelist. To gain notoriety and sell books, he decides to do something horrible. Yet his characters decide to come to life and step out of his book to haunt him as they are not happy with his depiction of them in The Writer's Story.

The Writer's Story by Cory J. Schulman is a must-read book. It's quite challenging to create a story that features a writer as a protagonist. This novel dramatizes ideas and beliefs and teaches about writing and creating stories and interesting characters. Cory J. Schulman did a great job creating a character who can easily come off as arrogant and condescending yet is likable and captivating. Brimming with humor, audacity, charm, and heart, The Writer's Story is an original, superbly written novel. The story is filled with romance, intrigue, comedy, tragedy, and themes of morality, purpose in life, death, anti-religion, and anti-marriage that magnetize the reader. I highly recommend this thrilling, plot-twisting novel.
