Here’s What a Few of Our Past Students Have to Say About Our Courses

Allan

The “Writing the Family History Scene‘ class was an amazing eye opening experience for me. The course content and personal feedback on my writing has proved to me that I can complete my book. As an instructor, Lynn has shown me direction on how to organize, and develop the scenes I’ve kept in my mind for a long time. A huge bonus was being able to read other class participants’ scenes and give/receive feedback. Highly recommended.

If you have thought about writing your family history story but have not been sure how to start then this is the course for you. Lynn guides you through each of the main stages in her positive and encouraging way and at the end you will have the outline of the story that you want to write. I am amazed at the progress I made in six weeks and am looking forward to developing my story further. Thank you Lynn for helping me to take those first tentative steps!

This course has helped me so much! Learning how to make my ancestors become real living, breathing people on paper will insure that my children and grandchildren will know these ancestors as I do. Lynn shared her knowledge and expertise through videos, handouts, assignments, and comments. Class members shared with each other, and we all became better writers because of this experience. I highly recommend this class to anyone who wants to really tell the history of their family.

Once again, Lynn Palermo delivered step by step guidelines to help us budding authors move forward in completing compelling Family History Stories. In this series, we learn week by week how to create a robust outline of the story plot. By the end of the course you have everything you need to get your family history story written.I love the interaction with the other students as they are exposed to your thoughts and help you clarify what you are trying to share.Lynn’s feedback is very helpful to keep you pointed in the direction of making the ancestors story sing on the pages. She gives you the power to leave some of the fact elements in the file folder for the benefit of story flow with techniques and suggestions.

This was the first writing course I’ve ever taken, and it was definitely worth the investment. I had started working on a family history book but was spinning my wheels because I didn’t really know the best way to tell the story. I learned that constructing a scene is imperative to writing a family history that will engage the reader without boring them with lists of names and dates. We can take cues from fiction writers to bring the stories of real people to life. Thanks Lynn for your hard work on this course and the personal feedback.
