 REVIEWS

  Lately, Hank’s been doing a lot of self-publishing, and has started sharing his hard-earned expertise with others. Manage Your Self-Published Project is an organizational tool, full of “mind-maps” and flow charts as well as lists, the better to connect with whatever format works best for the reader. It still looks like a scary to-do list to me, which is probably why I haven’t yet attempted the daunting task of self-publishing. But it’s a well-organized scary to-do list, with all the bases covered, so you’re less likely to get near the end of the process and suddenly discover you’ve left out some important step that should have been done months ago.
            If you’re thinking about self-publishing, and want a thoroughly researched checklist to keep you on track, I highly recommend Hank’s book. He’s been there, and has figured out what works. Jan Clark: author of Mountains of the Moon series of YA novels

Manage Your Self-publishing Project really covers the waterfront: It maps out everything from publishing and budgeting to marketing. In 40 information-packed pages, it gives you a clear, comprehensive picture of what it takes to produce your ebook, get it into distribution channels, and then promote it to readers. I’m considering putting together a series of short ebooks myself and I’m glad I’ve got Hank as my ebook coach!: Karin Abarbanel  See the entire review at:  http://karinwritesdangerously.wordpress.com/2013/03/08/self-punlishing-demystified/

I think the use of the flow charts and mind maps is excellent. I happen to work in computer graphics and fully believe in that old saw about a picture being worth a thousand words. Being able to encapsulate whole processes as a 1-page image is a great concept.  I think it’s also good that you talk about budgets, and what professional services can cost. You give a dose of reality to those people who get sold on the idea that they can publish their book with a couple hundred dollars. Richard Herr
