Family Book Creator Workshop

A 5-month virtual workshop that walks you step-by-step through the process of producing a family history book using the Family Book Creator plug-in for Family Tree Maker. Each month you will learn new skills you can put to work before our next monthly session, so that you will have a complete chapter by the end of the workshop — and the tools and confidence to finish the book yourself.

Course includes:

• 4 illustrated lectures with live Q&A
• 4 bonus mid-month help sessions
• 4 detailed handouts with extended examples
• A Facebook group for questions and feedback
• A student showcase
• Access to session recordings for the length of the course

• Preparing your Family Tree Maker tree for the process
• Collecting media to add context and visual flair
• Customizing your settings in Family Book Creator
• Deciding what to include in your book and how
• Choosing how to format and style your book

• Writing and incorporating narrative biographies
• Arranging photos and text on the same page
• Adding “extras” like word clouds and maps
• Designing a cover
