Writing Local History
March 2, 2013 |
Have you been thinking about what it would take to write a history of your neighborhood, a particular building, or other interesting aspect of our area’s past? How do you get all of those research files organized into something readable? What sort of publishing options are available these days? If you are interested in writing local history, don’t miss this discussion.
Please join us as our panel of local experts provides insight into the writing process, how to keep yourself organized and on task, and how and where you might get published. Along the way you’ll receive valuable professional advice and learn from panelists’ personal experiences.
