No writer wants to read a review that says,
"...this book just isn’t believable!"

Don't Be THAT Writer!

Genealogy is possibly the fastest growing pastime in the United States. According to one survey, an estimated 73 percent of the U.S. population is interested in their family history, or actively researching their personal genealogy.

As of September 2007, 3.5 million family trees have been created on Ancestry.com, 300 million profiles have been added to those trees, and 2.5 million photos have been uploaded. This one genealogy site has 800,000 subscribers, making it one of the largest online paid membership sites in the United States.

It is quite likely that your reader knows a little something about genealogy! Wouldn’t you like to write as if you do?

The media, especially through film, has focused on certain genealogical facts to such an extent that writers assume those facts apply to every family. It makes anyone who has ever researched their family history cringe!
