Writing for Discovery: A Genealogy Mindset Makeover

Join us for Writing for Discovery: A Genealogy Mindset Makeover workshop and prepare to transform your genealogy organization and writing! This 7-week, hands-on, all-in, online workshop will meet you wherever you are in your writing journey and give you the skills and confidence to make writing a regular habit rather than something you dread.

While there is plenty of learning in this course, there is also a focus on putting the learned skills into practice, getting writing done, and turning the new skills into habit:

Weekly accountability/work sessions

Live Q&A sessions for asking questions and sharing ideas with classmates and the instructor

optional peer-review opportunities

The workshop kicks off on Sunday, 4 February 2024! I hope you will join us!
