Have a person or family in your ancestry you would like to write about? Genealogy is booming, and this two-hour workshop at Nørrebro Library shows you how to turn those stories into writing. Author and editor Marie Østergaard Knudsen, who helps people write about their own lives and their family history, guides you through both the factual and the fictional tools of the trade.
You will learn what makes good language and how to plan a writing process, whether you want to write for close family or aim for a wider readership and publication. Marie has published the memoir guide "Fortæl dit liv" and the family history guide "Skriv om din slægt", and her novel "Du må ikke skrive om mor" is due from Forlaget Alhambra in November 2026.
