Your Ancestors’ Stories Deserve To Be Told.

  • No one has given you a plan

    The Virtual Retreat is an intensive three days packed with oodles of good information. It will help you move forward with your own story while learning from your coach, Lynn, and other retreat participants. Everyone’s writing skills are unique, yet our common goal is to have something to share that is enjoyable for others to read. I found the feedback I received extremely helpful. I now know I have three parts to my creative non-fiction book and am almost finished with Part 1. Writing can be lonely, but I’ve benefitted from the community of writers I’ve found in the Retreat who still egg me on to finish! I am so thankful for the time they take from their days to review my work when I contact them, although it’s been months since we attended the sessions together. Go do the Retreat. You’ll learn a lot!

    Lynn’s Virtual Writer’s Retreat helped me to understand ways of developing and improving my family history writing. Opportunities for discussion, in the main group and ‘breakout rooms’ of smaller groups, developed friendships and provided valuable insights into different approaches to writing. I came away with a wealth of ideas and excellent materials that continue to be useful. The experience is very worthwhile and highly recommended to help you progress in your writing.
