Fact-driven and tedious' is how the publishing world judges the genre of family history writing. Yet family histories don't need to be boring. Carol Baxter has proven with her internationally-acclaimed popular histories that history can be 'as lively and readable as a crime novel' ("The Times", London). She began the journey of showing genealogists how to transform dry facts into interesting narrative in "Writing Interesting Family Histories". She goes one step further in the long-awaited companion volume, "Writing and Publishing Gripping Family Histories". Visualising facts, telling stories, creating tension, enveloping readers in sensory experiences, and using story boxes to add life to drier narratives are among the topics covered in this 'how to' publication. It also provides editorial tips, information about publishing options, and self-publishing guidelines. There is no longer any reason - or excuse - for writing 'fact-driven and tedious' family histories. This book shows genealogists how to write gripping family histories.
