Let’s get real.
happen, you’re immediately overwhelmed:
- You’re busy; you don’t have time to waste going in circles creating something that even you find boring
- You’ve never met most of your ancestors, so how can you write exciting anecdotes about them?
- You don’t have any family stories or recollections, only research—how can you possibly make that entertaining?
- You aren’t confident in your writing skills and break out in a nervous sweat at the thought of others reading (and criticizing) your words.
Ugh. It’s overwhelming even thinking about it!
Now take a minute and imagine…
…writing a story for every single ancestor,
even if you only know a little bit about them.
(or knowing nothing but using your theories or
questions to craft a paragraph or two.)
…start writing your family history even when
you can only spare 10 to 15 minutes a day.
(after all, life is busy—no one has buckets of
spare time and nothing to do in it!)
…bringing your ancestors to life
so your whole family can get to know them.
(let’s face it—they’re already a part of
the family, so you really should introduce them
to everyone)
…feeling confident about your writing skills
and no longer second-guessing every word
you write.
(potentially even creating an audience
who start asking you whose story they
can read next)
All without the overwhelm of having
no stories, just a mountain of research.
You know, the one that no one else seems keen to read.Are you ready to get on board?

Have we formally met?
If not, let's do something about it!
Graphic designer. Tim Tam connoisseur. Family history enthusiast.
While our genealogy journeys probably aren’t exactly the same, I bet we have a few things in common.
For many years I struggled to convert my research into engaging stories. I had no confidence in my writing skills, and I was reasonably sure I only had boring ancestors. Where did people find the amazing stories, they told because I couldn’t find any!
It took a promise to write a book for Mum’s 70th birthday to realise that there was no magic library of historical stories. If I wanted stories worthy of a Who Do You Think You Are episode, I would have to write them.
Fast-forward to today. I wrote the family history book—almost 200 pages. And for four years, I’ve been publishing a family history blog. I share tips on how to write stories and design beautiful heritage keepsakes to share with your family.
I created this workshop because I wanted to share my no-fail formula on converting your research into engaging and exciting stories to help family history enthusiasts just like you.
I can’t wait to show you!
I like your emphasis on narrowing the focus of the writing; you just can’t write it all at once.
Your life BEFORE Ancestral Stories:
- Spending precious time trying to write stories with nothing but an empty page and blinking cursor to show for it.
- Overwhelmed by your mountain of research and no idea how to start converting that into interesting stories
- Using the same introduction for every ancestor so often that even you think they sound all the same.
- Enviously hearing about other people’s ancestors who appeared to live much more exciting and adventurous lives than yours did.
- Daydreaming that the producers of Who Do You Think You Are call and offer to write all of your ancestors’ stories for you.
- Lack confidence in your writing abilities so you won’t show any of the stories you wrote to anyone.
Your life AFTER Ancestral Stories:
- You get the most out of every writing session because you know how to convert your research into stories without pulling your hair out.
- Using the writing plan you created, your ancestors’ stories are practically writing themselves. No more wasted time and blinking cursors!
- You see your ancestors from a different perspective—how did you ever think they were all boring?
- Feeling creative, inspired and confident in your storytelling skills.
- You no longer dread the question “are you going to write your family history”—the answer is “Yes.”
