Join the GSV Writers on Wed 5 Feb at 12.30pm for an author talk with a twist.
Prize winning author Jeff Steel will give an overview of how he became a published author, with some tips on how to get our family histories published. Jeff will look at such topics as:
- making your story ‘tasty’
- being clear on your genre
- the royal road to writing history
- self publishing for the family
- the use of back stories to upgrade good material to great material
- the challenge of dealing with pure gold material
- how to find, approach, and work with a publisher
- the curse of dodgy publishers
After discovering a link to the convenor’s border clan family, Jeff remarked to her: “Clan loyalty dictates that under the rules of chivalry, I have to creep up on you and take all your sheep.”
This sounds like an interesting and entertaining meeting. It’s free for members. Don’t forget to log in and register under the Activities tab.
