Who is the Star in Your Family’s History?
Every family has one. They probably weren’t famous, but they stand out for their love of family, their sense of adventure, or their pure cantankerousness. Yes, we’ve all got at least one Star in our family and they deserve to shine. Now, with your help, they can. SCGS is publishing a book, The Stars in Your Family, and we are inviting you to join in this celebration of the brightest branches of your family tree. Did you ever want to be published? Were you longing to share your fascination with one of your favorite ancestors? This is your opportunity to do both.
If you want to sharpen your writing skills with some great tips on how to make your writing more interesting, we’ve got you covered. Join the FREE webinar on Saturday, January 9, 10:00 a.m. Pacific given by Devon Noel Lee entitled Writing about The Stars in Your Family with Ease. 600 words or less? No problem! Devon will lead you through a simplified method to write brief but inviting features about your ancestors. Honor them with words and share the legacy you love with others.
