Tell Your Story like a True Reporter

Learn the who, what, when, where and why of writing from a former reporter-turned family history writer. This class will teach you how to cover and research the most important parts of your story without writing too much or too little. You will also learn tips on how to find information from photos, newspapers or other research when that's all you have to go on for your story. We will also talk about writing your own personal story and how to cover all the important parts so people will want to keep reading.

Participants would benefit from having a laptop or smartphone for this session.
