About
Award-winning author Hank Quense lives in Bergenfield, NJ with his wife Pat. They have two daughters and five grandchildren. He writes humorous fantasy and scifi stories. On occasion, he also writes an article on fiction writing or book marketing but says that writing nonfiction is like work while writing fiction is fun. A member of the Science Fiction Writers of America, he refuses to write serious genre fiction saying there is enough of that on the front page of any daily newspaper and on the evening TV news.
He has three collections of short stories and four novels currently available. He has written a series of guides on fiction writing and another one on self-publishing and marketing a book. He also lectures on fiction writing and self-publishing.
Hank has initiated a series of lectures and workshops to share his expertise in creating fiction and publishing books. Create A Short Story is a 4-session workshop in which the participants design their own short story. He also gives a two-part seminar on Self-publishing & Marketing a self-published book.

Story Behind The Book
Self-publishing a book is a complicated process. So is marketing the book. I have experience in these fields and lecture on it in libraries and adult schools. Since I love to see information presented in graphical forms, it seemed natural to document the processes through a series of flow charts. That was this small book has: flow charts with notes. The flow charts essentially are graphical to-do lists with time frames in which each of the tasks should be addressed.
