Writing Family History- Managing Expectations Writing Workshop
Is this the year you finally write the family history book you promised yourself that you would write?
But what can you expect from taking on this challenge? Besides personal commitment, there is the organizational consideration of putting letters, photographs and videos into a format that you can share. And what options do you have for dissemination and/or preservation? Publishing, self-publishing or perhaps in a digital format.
Led by the author of A Father’s Letters: Connecting Past to Present, these three 75 minute workshop held on successive months will provide strategies and insights to these questions. But equally important it is an opportunity to share your experiences and progress with like-minded individuals. These classes are intended to build off of each other and the progress you are making with your own writing. Gain insight and feedback from others in the workshop.
