Rowe Branch Library Presents a Family Legacy Writing Workshop

SAN BERNARDINO >> Learn the most important elements of writing your family history, autobiography, or develop your writing skills. Each of us has a story from our ancestors or even our own story to tell. Make your ancestors come alive on paper. Make your family legacy something your children will be proud of. Linda Weaver Clarke became interested in writing when she realized that her ancestors’ stories were intriguing, but the facts alone were not enough, so she turned their biographies into stories that her children would enjoy. “Putting the facts into story form brings an ancestor to life,” Clarke said. “I like what Leon Garfield said: ‘The historian, if honest, gives us a photograph; the storyteller gives us a painting.’ What I’m teaching people is how to paint their story, to be the storyteller.” Lecturer and author Linda Weaver Clarke flies throughout the United States presenting her workshop to libraries. Mary Jo Gohlke, Adult Programming for Stockton Public Library, wrote: “Ms Clarke appeals to genealogists and aspiring authors. I was terribly impressed! The people were genuinely attuned to what she presents. She knows her subject and can present it wonderfully. She is thorough, professional, yet strikes just the right chord with her audience.” Clarke will be presenting this free workshop at the Rowe Branch Library in San Bernardino on Monday, April 4, 2016 at 6 p.m. The author’s award-winning novels will be available for purchase at the event. For more information visit www.sbpl.org or call (909) 381-8238. To learn more about Clarke’s classes, visit: www.lindaweaverclarke.com.
