Beverly Scott
I am in the midst of writing my first novel after writing non-fiction books and articles most of my career.
I launched a genealogy search to uncover some of the mystery surrounding my grandfather and a family secret. See www.bevscott.com/blog "Journey to Fiction" for a description of this search. I found fascinating information about my grandparents but I didn't find all the answers. Since it was such a great story, I decided to write a fictionalized version of the story.

Bev, Sarah's Secret sounds like the process I just took writing my debut novel. It started as memoir but I felt it needed to be told as fiction "using the known facts as my framework" (borrowing on your description!). My novel will be published in fall 2019. Over the next year I'll be working with my publisher and editor for a journey I never planned on. Can you tell me about your program "The 3rd Act"?
