Storylines & Bloodlines Workshop

Got mysteries in your family history? In Storylines and Bloodlines, author Suzanne Samuels shows how to turn unanswered questions and missing pieces into fiction. This generative, hands-on workshop invites participants to draw on memory, imagination, and research to bring family lore to life. Through guided prompts and short writing exercises, you’ll explore how stories evolve when the facts run out—and how to find emotional truth where the record ends.
