Topics include: identifying the audience; choosing the right format; reviewing research, putting words on the page; editing; legal necessities, and assignments to get started. Working with their own materials, and supporting each other, participants discover how to move from gathering information to creating a publishable product. Participants will set goals for their research, organize and evaluate their data, and practice packaging their family story.
UNLOCK YOUR FAMILY STORY is taught in a collaborative manner in which participants present their writing samples to classmates and share evaluation of each other’s work. The course goal is to promote development of the skills necessary for writing non-fiction from a family history point of view. Course materials support learning by providing background and course content reading, and assignment descriptions. The course is designed for intermediate level research experience, including understanding of cooperative evaluation training and the Genealogical Proof Standard. A large part of each class will consist of sharing and peer evaluation.
Add-on: Monday, May 22, 2023, a one-on-one, 20-minute appointment with the facilitators. In-person only. Get the PDF to fill out and submit via email here: One-to-one consultation form
