Do you have a story in you?
Do you know how to write it or how to tell it? Creating Stories has the answers. Hank Quense, the author of more than twenty books, tells you how to do it. He believes that stories come from the melding of three elements: getting ideas, story design and story-telling. Ideas have to come from the author. Creating Stories covers the last two. The book concentrates on developing characters including such rarely discussed requirements such as a dominant reader emotion and the character’s biography. Plots are also covered in depth and a number of graphics are included to illustrate complex points. Another topic discusses subplots and how to utilize them and how to nest them within the main plot. A separate chapter discusses the relationship between the plot and the emotional arcs. Other topics covered are: character arcs, scene design, point-of-view, writing voice.

My Adult Review
Quense, Hank. Self Publish a Book in 10 Steps and Market It. NP: Strange Worlds Publishing, 2022.
Self publishing a book can be challenging but it is possible. With the help of Hank Quense’s book, Self Publish a Book in 10 Steps and Market It, the process just might be a little easier. He really does break down the process into ten steps. This is a book that those interested in self publishing will find very helpful. I know I will use it when I am ready to self publish a book. I was a little surprised by the order of some of the steps, but Quense does explain the reason for the order – and it makes sense. Quense writes as a teacher instructing students – being careful to make sure his readers understand each step of the process.
High school and college writing instructors will want to have this book on hand for their students who are serious about writing, publishing, and marketing their work.
Self Publish a Book in 10 Steps and Market It would be a good addition to the non fiction section of a K-12 Christian school library.
I received a complimentary copy of Self Publish a Book in 10 Steps and Market It. This is my honest review.
