From Researching to Writing: Preserving Our Family Stories
A Hands-On Experience
Featuring StLGS publications director, Ilene Murray
Saturday, September 26 • 9:00 a.m.–3:00 p.m.
St. Louis Genealogical Society Office, 4 Sunnen Dr., Suite 140, St. Louis, MO 63143
Many of us have been researching for years, gathering names, dates, and places, meaning to start writing but somehow never really doing it. Join us for a hands-on workshop with many options for turning those stories you've meant to write into reality. This workshop blends short presentations, live demos, and plenty of time for you to try it yourself.
What you’ll learn:
- How to get started
- How to get organized using MS Word
- How to get to the bottom of family myths
- How to get past the "I can't write a book" fears with lots of creative alternative ideas
Bring your laptop (or pen and paper), along with any material you might want to use as a basis for story-writing. You'll practice during the day as we share ideas and learn with the group.
Because of the hands-on nature of this workshop, it will be presented as in-person only. Registration includes morning coffee and lunch.
Limited space—
