The Storyteller Project is here!
The Storyteller Project is an 10-week guided experience for family historians who are ready to move their research into lasting story. Rooted in the principles of my book, Stewardship Matters: A Storyteller’s Guide to Preserving Family History, the project walks participants through the same arc of stewardship: shaping family history into credible, meaningful narratives, preparing those stories for publication, and making them findable for future generations. It’s free, community-centered, and designed for anyone who feels called to preserve the human record with care, intention, and purpose.

Genealogy Matters Magazine
A grassroots magazine by and for family history storytellers.
Our first Call for Submissions is now closed. Watch for the next Call coming at the end of June — and we look forward to making you a part of Genealogy Matters Magazine.
What does being part of Genealogy Matters Magazine really mean?
It means your family history story doesn’t disappear.
So much of what we uncover — the late nights tracing ship manifests, the courthouse records, the handwritten letters — lives in notebooks, blog posts, and memory. Here, it gets a permanent home. A citable, archivable, lasting home.
Genealogy Matters Magazine exists because family history deserves more than a footnote. It deserves a place on the shelf.
And it deserves to be written by people like you.
This magazine exists because of this community. Thank you for being part of it.
— Robin, Founder & Editor, Genealogy Matters Magazine
