Beginner’s Guide To Developing A Plot by Hank Quense!
Read on to learn more about Hank, his book, and a giveaway!
Meet The Author: Hank Quense
Early in his writing career, he was strongly influenced by two authors: Douglas Adams and his Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy and Joseph Heller’s Catch-22. Happily, Hank has never quite recovered from those experiences.
He lives with his wife in northern New Jersey, a mere 20 miles from Manhattan, the center of the galaxy (according to those who live in Manhattan). They have two daughters and five grandchildren all of whom live close by.
For vacations, Hank and Pat usually visit distant parts of the galaxy. Occasionally, they also time-travel.
Besides writing novels, Hank lectures on fiction writing, publishing and book marketing. He is most proud of his talk showing grammar school kids how to create a short story. He used these lectures to create an advanced ebook with embedded videos to coach the students on how to create characters, plots and setting. The target audience is 4th to 7th graders. The book’s title is Fiction Writing Workshop for Kids.

A message from Hank!
Developing a plot for a new story is a tough gig. This book won’t make it easy, but it will provide examples and guidance.
About the Book: Beginner’s Guide To Developing A Plot
Creating a story is a complicated undertaking. In it, the writer has to ensure that various elements such as the characters, plots, scenes, dialog and others all mesh together and support each other.
The plot is important because the plot problem gives the characters a job: they have to fix or solve the problem. Unless they are the bad guys in which case their job is to prevent the problem from getting fixed.
However, the plot is one of the most difficult story elements to develop. Beginning writers are often frustrated by the complexity of merging plot events to form a chain of events that lead the reader from the inciting incident to the story’s climax.
I have seen beginners struggle with this issue during my fiction writing workshops. I came to realize these writers need more than just a lecture and a template to fill out. They need more guidance and examples. That is what my Beginner’s Guide To Developing A Plot provides: guidance and examples.
