The Jewish Genealogical Society of Greater Washington (JGSGW) will present Write and Publish Your Family History with Online Print-on-Demand presented by Beth Galleto, taking place at B’nai Israel Congregation, on Sunday, January 27, 2019, at 1:30 PM.
Writing and publishing a book is one way to preserve the results of your genealogy research and share them with family members and others. But such a project is daunting. Having published four books about her family, JGSGW member Beth Galleto will talk about how to do it yourself. If you have already published your own books, please bring them to the meeting to show others before the presentation. If you have not published but feel you may be ready, Beth will discuss when to get started on your project, what to include, and a basic how-to for writing and self-publishing.
Beth Galleto has been researching her family history for 40 years. Before moving to DC two years ago, she was on the board of the San Francisco Bay Area Jewish Genealogical Society for many years, serving for a decade as editor of the quarterly journal Zichron- Note and later as webmaster. Now retired, she previously worked as a reporter, editor, and public relations director. She has self-published four books related to her family history and firmly believes that anyone can write and publish their family’s story.
