You’ve got a story idea.

What you don’t have is the patience for 400-page theory tomes, contradictory advice, or social-media “hacks” that sell exactly zero books.

The Beginner’s Guides Series gives you compact, practical ebooks, each focused on one job:

• Planning a story
• Creating genuine characters
• Developing a plot
• *Designing scenes
• Publishing without getting screwed
• Basic book marketing
• *Author business
• *Mind-mapping a novel
• *How to use AI as a writing assistant

(Note: * indicates the title is not yet available). 

You get checklists, diagrams, worksheets, and targeted AI prompts that help with the donkey work while you keep control of the actual writing. No magic. No miracles. Just a process that works. 



What’s Inside the Series

Each guide tackles one problem and actually stays on topic:

Beginner’s Guide to Planning a Story
How to turn a vague “I should write a book” into a real plan, from story idea and characters through ending, with diagrams and examples that show you where AI can help and where it absolutely shouldn’t touch your story.

Beginner’s Guide to Creating Genuine Characters
Character worksheets, AI query examples, and real-world guidance so your cast has goals, flaws, arcs, and backstories—rather than all sounding like the same cardboard hero with a different hair color.

Beginner’s Guide to Developing a Plot
How to go from “cool premise” to a complete plot path: plot problem, ending, and the chain of events in between, so you stop stalling in the middle and calling it “writer’s block.”

Beginner’s Guide to Designing Scenes
Scenes, not word counts, are the real building blocks; this guide shows you how to give every scene a goal, emotional change, and purpose, so you don’t end up with 60 pages where nothing happens

Beginner’s Guide to Publishing a Book (and Not Getting Screwed)
A plain-language tour of agents, publishers, self‑publishing, hybrid and vanity presses, packagers, ISBNs, and all the wonderful ways first-time authors can be separated from their money if they’re not careful.

Beginner’s Guide to Basic Book Marketing
A realistic (and mildly skeptical) look at marketing, landing pages, blurbs, keywords, author platforms, and why social media is great at burning your time and money but terrible at selling a badly set-up book.
