It's all about the story
Genealogist Carol Baxter turned her hobby into a writing career when she stumbled across a political sex scandal and had her manuscript picked up by the first major publisher she approached.
Carol writes narrative nonfiction — that is, history told as a story. In this lesson, she teaches you how to craft a story for a family history or biography.

"Facts" send people to sleep. "Stories" keep them awake and alert and eager to learn what happens next. In this seminar, Carol shows you how to tell a gripping story to include in a family history or biography.
