Josh Bertetta

Josh likes his flash like he likes his icebergs. As much as the story on paper (or on screen) is important, what is just as important to him is what is not stated. In other words, the story behind the story. Does what you write make him wonder at what’s just below the surface? How big is the story there? In addition to his icebergs he loves a good, unexpected end. To top it off, he loves stories that have fun and play with the genre.
