Some of the recent reviews include:

The Quintessentially Quilly website said in its review: "...Quense has given me the tools I need to look at story creation. He outlines and comprehensively details the essential story crafter’s skills and tasks: story construction; character motivations; character development; plotting the story; writer’s patience; scene construction; humor writing; point of view; how to get started."

And Readers Favorite posted this on its website:"The text is written in an easy to read and understand style. I can see how this book would benefit authors, especially new authors. I highly recommend this book to all writers."

Readers also heaped praise on the book. :
"The problem with most books on writing is that they’re 10% gold and 90% filler. Short, sweet and to the point, Hank Quense’s Building a Better Story does the beginner a great service by distilling many ideas from books on writing, and giving you references at the end of each chapter if you wish to dig deeper."

"The key point of the book is to be organized in the planning and writing of your stories, and it shows you precisely how to bring order out of the chaos of story creation. The text offers a concise overview of all the major aspects of story creation, including planning, character development, plot, point of view, etc."

"I found his book easy to read and the work flows well, while he offers practical and sound advice. There is excellent insight into “reader” demands to good writing and good advice from character creation to plot planning with references to further reading in each chapter. Hank has summed up many of the new writer pitfalls. His advice will assist many writers with his structured methodology."

"Build a Better Story is the perfect companion for anyone looking to start writing fiction. The explanations are clear and to the point, and help to simplify the many complexities that are necessary to transform a good story into a great one."
