- Making it interesting for the reader
- Formatting and Publishing Options
- Handling Family Secrets
- Editing and Proofreading
- How to write using all senses and perspectives
- Launching and Marketing possibilities
Suitable for all who wish to improve their writing skills as well as for those contemplating or struggling with a book length project such as a family history, corporate history or autobiography/memoirs. Also suitable for those writing family history stories and anecdotes for younger children in their families.
The workshop is based on Hazel’s book Writing a Non Boring Family History. also available as an e-book.
Can also be a 1 hour lunchtime talk.
