Write Your Own Family Stories New
Workbook by Karen Pierce Gonzalez Shows You How To Capture
Treasured Memories
Family heroes, prized heirlooms, and memorable gatherings are
among the many folktale motifs presented in the Family
Folktales: Write Your Own Family Stories workbook recently
released by Folkheart Press.
The
116-page workbook was written by Karen Pierce Gonzalez. This
award winning writer and writing workshop facilitator introduces
writers of all levels to the world of folktale motifs and offers
easy to follow writing instructions for anyone interested in
preserving family stories.
“The workbook is laid out in a very simple, easy to follow and
easy to understand manner, and gives the reader the confidence
needed to write,” said Nancy Reid, Big Blend Magazine editor. “I
can see this bringing families together and helping anyone
interesting in writing, getting a good start.”
A
member of the Western States Folklore Society, the author has
also added original, contemporary folktales written by Douglas
Barksey, Harminder Bhandal, Chris Cone, Mary Connell Tricia
Croft, Dalton Teczon, and Teresa Morrow.
The workbook also includes information about
folktale podcasts and scrapbooking techniques as
well as other resources for other creative
approaches.
Folkheart Press was established in 2007 to celebrate
the art of folktales. Publishing credits include
several e-books, including Family Folktales: What
Are Yours? by Karen Pierce Gonzalez and
Spanish Cuisine One Region at a Time: Catalonia
