Carol will outline ways of turning your family history research and oral history interviews into exciting narratives by reworking dry facts to make an interesting read.
In a fun session Carol will help release your hidden creative writing spirit, provide advice on structuring a story and how to draw background information into the narrative to evoke drama, extracting dialogue from original records and using simple grammar to write a story that readers will not be able to put down.
Carol Baxter, a professional genealogist, historian, author, and speaker, will share techniques that have reviewers praising her popular social history books including An Irresistible Temptation: The true story of Jane New and a colonial scandal.
