More genealogists and families are choosing to honor and preserve the stories of their World War I and World War II veterans by writing and publishing books. Yet many discover that researching an ancestor’s military service is only one part of the journey. Some are not even aware that research needs to be done. Transforming years of research into a well-written, professionally produced book requires planning, organization, and an understanding of the publishing process.
My new free PDF guide provides a practical overview of the key decisions you’ll need to make as you move from concept to publication. Whether you’re creating a private keepsake for your family or publishing through Amazon or Barnes & Noble to share your veteran’s story with the world, this brief guide will help you understand the essential steps and confidently bring your project to life.
