The Write Stuff II: Expand Your Family History Writing Skills

This course follows on from The Write Stuff I Genealogy Intensive: Build Your Family History Writing Skills, so you can pick up from where you left off, or even start a new project if you prefer. It’s time to get your writing groove back!

Key Goals of The Write Stuff II

• Visualize your outcome. Dust off that project you worked on before, or bring a new idea and get ready to write!
• Be prepared to “go all in.” Make the commitment and make it now, not a year from now.
• Build your family history project blueprint by creating a story structure that works!
• Learn Creative Nonfiction Writing techniques to help you write a better narrative!
• Discover how to use social history to enhance your story, and how to incorporate footnotes, endnotes and author’s notes.
• Get inspired by the “success” of others and learn how you can transfer that same success to your own project.
• Reconnect with former participants and meet new writers to build a network of supportive “project dreamers” that will serve you in the future.
• Learn how to take the next steps to self-publish your work in a book, eBook, or blog!

There is no official start or end date for these Write Stuff workshops, so you can work at your own pace and still receive valuable feedback on your writing from your coach!

Through online instructional sessions, weekly assignments, and collaboration with other participants, you will have access to an instructor with more than 28 years’ experience, who will teach you about key nonfiction writing techniques you can use to produce a “can’t put down” family history that will keep the pages turning for generations.

NOTE: While Facebook is not required, participants will reap the most benefits from the collaborative environment by accessing the Facebook Groups for each of The Write Stuff Genealogy Intensives.
