Beginner's Guides: Everything You Need to Write, Publish, and Sell Your Book — Minus the overwhelming parts

Ten no-nonsense guides. One evening read each. Pick your problem, grab the guide, get back to writing.

Hank Quense — a 21-book self-published author — decided to skip that ritual entirely and just write about those issues..

The result is the Beginner's Guides, a series of short, single-problem guides for writers and authors. No padding, no memoir detours, no "in my twenty years of writing" preambles. Each book solves one specific thing that trips up new writers, does it in about twenty pages and gets out of the way.

This isn't a marketing slogan. It's structural. Ten guides, spread across three sections, and a free sampler that tells you which one you actually need before you spend a dime.
