Two Online Workshops Coming Soon!
Write More, Right Now
Do you have a story you’ve been meaning to tell that keeps getting pushed aside? Write More, Right Now is a 12-week experience designed to help you start writing – and keep writing.
Through weekly on-demand video lessons, you’ll learn strategies for setting goals and committing to your project without getting sidetracked. We’ll use techniques gleaned from writers and productivity experts to make consistent, steady progress.
You’ll also have 24/7 access to a supportive community focused on finally getting that dream project finished. Whether you’re writing a memoir, a family history, or a new creative work, this program will give you the tools, structure, and accountability to turn your ideas into pages.
Mastering Microsoft Word for Genealogists
Turn Microsoft Word into your most powerful genealogical tool. In this on-demand, four-hour class, you’ll learn how to streamline your research reports and research logs and make citations easier, plus other time saving tricks that will give you more time to write and research.
Whether you’re preparing a portfolio submission, writing for publication, or compiling a family history, this course will help you present your work like a pro. Separate versions of the course will be available for MacOS and Windows.
