Family history writing has quietly become one of the world's most popular hobbies – and for anyone who has tried to turn a name on a shipping list into a story worth reading, Hazel Edwards's handbook has long been the book to reach for.
When the rights to Writing a Non-boring Family History became available earlier this year, it wasn't a difficult decision. Hazel is already part of the Amba Press family, and this is exactly the kind of practical, educator-authored book our readers come to us for. We're very pleased to be keeping it in print.
This revised fourth edition covers everything from interviewing elderly relatives and recording memories, to structuring drama, presenting family secrets diplomatically and writing for children or as a eulogy. It also reflects the latest e-formats and the growing interest in researching military history onsite.
It joins our writing category, where we hope it will find plenty of new readers alongside the audience that has followed it for decades.
We're delighted to have another book with Hazel on our list.
