Excerpt
Do any of these scenarios sound familiar?

“Write my family history? Are you kidding me? The ones I’ve read are boring pieces of drivel.”

“Write my family history? Can you help me? I just don’t know how to get started.”

“Write my family history? I’ve started but can’t decide on what to keep and what to throw out. Can you be my editor?”

If any of these scenarios sound familiar it’s because they are the three most common problems facing the family historian. This book is my answer for your dilemmas.

Homespun is a book dedicated to providing readers with a short story writer's realistic road map to success. One primary goal is to assist writers who want a broad view of how to get started writing their family history. Another is to assist writers with more specific guidance ranging from their dilemmas surrounding thematic and story choices. Still another is to help writers with practical editing advice.

Overall I believe this book will be an invaluable guide to help you write a family history that you will personally cherish.
