Speaker: Robin Conley

Program: "Writing Your Life Story"

Robyn’s hour-long program helps people organize and remember their life stories. She gives tips for easy-to-do writing steps that will help you leave a lasting and permanent legacy for your children about YOUR life.

Writing your life story does not have to be difficult. It does not have to be a chore and you don’t have to be famous. It can be done in short periods of time. Writing your life stories can be a very satisfying undertaking as you remember, write down, and preserve the times of your life.

And it should be done! Come learn how to get started. Robyn has helped hundreds of people in dozens of historical and genealogical societies learn the basics of putting their stories in print. You can do it, too. Bring paper and pen and come give these simple suggestions a try!

Robyn Conley has her own business, The Book Doctor, and has a number of published book credits, including “What Really Matters to Me,” and has written articles in ABA Student Lawyer, Writer’s Digest; Personal Journalizing, FCA Victory, The Church Herald, ByLine ... and dozens of others, as well as contents for several web sites, including 45 devotionals for www.Iam3rd. Learn about her scrap-booking techniques.

She has led many workshops to teach the mechanics of writing and publishing, as well as tips for chronicling our life story, and using writing as a healing therapy at TCU, UTA, and hundreds of individual seminars around the country. She also is a well-respected and sought after freelance editor, often referred to by her clients as “the Book Doc.”

Bring paper and pen and come give these simple suggestions a try!
