I commissioned a blog tour for my book recently and here are extracts from some of the reviews the book received.

As a lifelong reader and half a decade professional reviewer, I have been interested more and more about writing my own book. However, I had no idea how, when or where to begin. I jumped on the opportunity when I had the chance to read Creating Stories. The author, Hank Quense, did a great job in answering some questions I have had on how to get started. He explains the ideas and design that is important for story telling. As well as, the importance of character development and the depth of the main and sub plots. He includes illustrations, graphs, charts, and diagrams to back up his explanations, tips, and advice. They were quite useful for me to understand in depth in what he was explaining to his readers. I found the book made me feel more inspired and confident on jotting down my ideas on creating my own story. I will be holding on to my copy to keep it handy as I navigate into this new journey for me.

I like the way Quense explains in vivid details the steps from thinking of your story to finally have it written. He takes time to explain what potential writers need to do before they even start writing. This book is really for those who are serious about following this career. I don’t have any thoughts of writing a full fiction or non fiction book but I would enjoy writing a children’s book. And this book would be wonderful for a children’s book author. Anyone who seeks to be a published author. I’m giving this book Five Stars. It is a fantastic read for the writer wanna be!

High school and college writing instructors may want to consider this book as a textbook. The information in this book could help students become better writers, no matter the genre they are interested in.

Creating Stories concentrates on story design and storytelling, but goes further to explain than other books on writing have. The author has a very good grasp of the basics and shares with his readers well. In some parts, he even goes into the explanations with diagrams.
Not only does he cover the main points of story writing but goes more in-depth in explaining them. The author writes in such a way and explains so that a beginner can understand.
I highly recommend adding this book to your writing library and referring to it often. It’s one of the best I’ve read.

Creating Stories could easily be added to a K-12 Christian school non fiction section. High school students interested in writing would benefit from reading this book.

The Author Maps Out Creating Stories in a Very Useful, Well Organized Manner. This writing guide is packed with helpful information for fiction writers. While the material is more suited to new writers- or those still developing their writing voices and crafts- there are pieces within each section that could certainly serve to re-focus writers still seeking improvement tips and guidance. The author is very systematic and structured in his story creation style. Just as he offers tips and suggestions to readers, he provides examples and insights into his own writing processes, character, and story development. This book could be read section by section–but it will also prove helpful to use as a resource or reference guide while working through the writing of a fictional piece.

Chock full of vital information for the writer, yet relatively sleek in page size, Creating Stories left this writer feeling energized and ready to tackle the exciting, painful, joyous and rewarding task of writing. If you’re a novice author, this book should absolutely, positively be on your desk or shelf. What are you waiting for? I can’t recommend it enough.
