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 current Call for Submissions is now OPEN!
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
