I know writingĀ yourĀ family historyĀ can be OVERWHELMING ...

But do youĀ realize that if you don't make an intentionalĀ effort toĀ permanently preserve your stories, all your research mayĀ be LOSTĀ over time?

Then, NOW is theĀ time to turnĀ your snipetsĀ into stories!

  • Everything you need to be able to writeĀ your memoir in Microsoft Word is included in one place.
  • This eight-week program combined with a supporting community is your solution to finally getting your research notes into a narrative, saving you time, energy, and frustration!

that transforming your family stories into PRINT is the best way of preserving them for the future.

LET ME INTRODUCE ...

From

'MEMORIES TO MANUSCRIPT'

Ā The only online course of its kind designed for family historians to help them writeĀ theirĀ family memoir fasterĀ ... even if you are not a writer!Ā 

Before I tell you more about this incredible program, let me tell you who I created it for ...

I designed this program for ...

  • The family historian who has been researching their family history for years and has accumulated lots of material; notes, documents, and photographs and has begun writing the accompanying stories.
  • The memoir writer who wants to publish their first book and has no idea of the intricacies of using amazon's KDP program.
  • The non-fiction writer who wants to be more proficient at using Microsoft Word®.
  • Everyone from the family history hobbyist to the genealogist who wants to leave a lasting legacy now, not later.
  • What better way to "WOW" your family than being able to compile all your research for them into one publication?

āœØ I want you to know that publishing your first book is 100% possible for you!

āœØ And I know that, because I’ve been exactly where you are now.

āœØ That's why I created a proven system to help YOU, 'the Researcher,'  'the Keeper of the Family's History', achieve something you want more than anything.

YES, I'M READY TO WRITE MY FAMILY HISTORY āœ…

Hi, I'm Valerie,

I'm a family historian, author, and your online mentor who's here to help you preserve your family's stories.

I became interested in genealogy as a young girl after long conversations with my grandmother.  

I remember some of the entertaining stories she shared with my sister and I.

Her tales of buried treasures, haunted houses, and out-of-body experiences
sent shivers down my spine! šŸ‘»

 

 

  • When I realized that I might not recall her memories to share with my children one day, I had to find a way to preserve them. 
  • So I became proficient at Microsoft Word®, and learned the insider secrets behind amazon's KDP platform.
  • My grandma is gone now, but I'm so grateful that I published our family memoir, not only for the benefit of my children, but for all the extended generations that have yet to be born.

Can you believe thatĀ ...Ā 

  • It took me two years to write my first book? I had to figure out how to do itĀ on my own ... which was really difficult.
  • I would have given SO MUCH just to have had someone toĀ hold my hand and teach me what I really needed to know.
  • It doesn't have to be that way for you.
  • I want to make it easy forĀ you to writeĀ your manuscript in less time, and with much less stress.

Ā 

Writing a family memoir ...Ā 

  • ... can be challenging, so let me share ALL MY SECRETS AND SHORTCUTSĀ with YOU, especially the pitfalls toĀ watch out for/
  • It'll make the process easier, faster, and more rewarding, ...Ā and youĀ will not have to struggle for years as I did.
  • You have a unique opportunity right now to get all the templates, all the support, and all your questions answered.
  • Join now and discoverĀ how emotionally fulfillingĀ it is to leave a lasting legacy that will live on forever. ā¤ļø
  • Think of yourself as the AUTHORĀ of your own publication,... because YOU are!
  • That feeling is indescribable!

Looking forward to guidingĀ you throughĀ the program!

All my best,

Valerie xo
