I’m excited to report that an article I wrote is published in the current (July/August 2018) edition of Family Tree Magazine! It’s called Genealogy Organization Secrets the Pros Know and it’s based on the interviews I did for the What the Pros Know: Genealogy Organizing Tips workshop I hosted for Family Tree University earlier this year.
The expert sources for the article are Thomas MacEntee, Joshua Taylor, Drew Smith, and Denise Levenick. I’m so grateful to them for talking with me.
For ten years before I started my organizing business in 2005, I was a freelance pet writer. I wrote primarily for newspapers and magazines, though in the latter years I wrote books. (You can check out my titles at Amazon.)
So magazine writing is not new for me, but I have to admit it was a thrill to have a genealogy article appear under my byline in a major national magazine. And note the optimism in this post’s title…I’m hoping there will be more!
I was able to read the article through this link, though it may be for premium members only. You can purchase and download the whole digital edition of the magazine here.
While it’s nice to see digital version on the website, I’m looking forward to holding the physical magazine in my hands. (Never mind that usually prefer digital documents to paper. This is different!)
Congratulations!!!!
Congratulations!
Congratulations! I look forward to reading it. I’m always trying to get more organized so I always enjoy reading your posts.
I am a subscriber to Family Tree, and I will look forward to reading your article in the summer issue. It is a huge accomplishment to have an article in a national magazine. Congratulations!
Congratulations! Glanced at the article and look forward to reading it. Drew Smith and Thomas MacEntee are my two favorite speakers. I really enjoy your posts.
I agree about Drew and Thomas! I’ve had the chance to hear Thomas a number of times and he never disappoints. I heard Drew speak about cluster research at RootsTech this year and he was great.
So neat!! Great subjects you got to talk with you, too. I’m going to grab this.
Thanks so much to you and everyone else for your kind comments!
This is SO cool, Janine! Congrats on one of your many successes. I was watching Hoarding: Buried Alive and saw your hardworking self. It’s too fun that I know a celebrity in the film, magazine, book, blogging, and lecturing worlds. Whew, I have to go and take a rest from just thinking about all the work you do.
Amanda, your post made me (literally) laugh out loud. Thanks for that boost and for taking the time to comment!
Terrific article! I am excited to create my workflow checklists.
Great article, Janine.
Thanks, Patti! It’s strange to see my byline again!
The workflow checklists are awesome! I rely on checklists for my many projects at work (I’m a senior programmer/analyst at a Fortune 500 company, so incredibly busy), and here I wasn’t doing it for my genealogy. I’m starting with checklists for my genome downloads to Genome Mate Pro. Need to build others!.
Great article — I decided to subscribe to the magazine when I saw the content neighboring your wonderful effort. Family Tree should know you sold a subscription!
