An Overview of Publishing Your Family History
This session will give an overview of the steps involved in moving from a draft text to a completed book. It will also compare traditional and self-publishing methods and share some of the options available to have your book printed for family and/or the public.
This how-to session happens one day after a similarly titled session at VIU Elder College. Come to this session with your questions specific to family history publishing. We’ll go through your questions and the options available to you.
