Write Your Ancestry with Melissa

Write Your Ancestry with Melissa!

Have you been busy researching your family tree? Perhaps you have a gripping story from your family that you'd love to capture for future generations? 

This course will help you to make sense of the research and include it all in a narrative to share with others or add to the family archive. Topics covered include how to write a person you've never met, writing location, incorporating research in a nuanced way, create a compelling story that people want to read, create a writing routine for yourself and how to edit your own work. You will have a chance to share your work and get feedback in a safe environment. 

(Note: We will not be doing any research in the class, but you are welcome to bring your research with you. The Eureka Centre Ballarat has a number of researching family history workshops: www.eurekacentreballarat.com.au/events)
