In her RootsTech 2019 presentation, Penelope Stratton discussed how to make the transition and mental shift from research to writing, printing, or publishing your family history.
Her 10 steps are:
- Shift mental gears—it’s a story, not a research project, with a beginning, middle, and end
- Consider your audience and time frame
- Choose a genealogical format
- Define your scope, outline, and make a table of contents
- Create a style sheet
- Write!
- Add narrative and images
- Read, refine, repeat
- Index
- Print or publish
