Is it time for you to share the stories you have discovered through family history research? (Hint: yes!) Are you ready to record personal stories that you want to preserve?

 In family History Story Craft, learn what makes a great story, how to find stories to share, the art of gathering details, tips for writing, and ways AI such as ChatGPT might assist you in the writing process. This class will focus on writing stories in short form, but the principles shared can also be applied when drafting longer narratives.
