Small success - BBC's Who Do You Think You Are? magazine

Baggy Books · October 2008

Had a letter printed in the new issue. It was just some comments on one of their programmes. It made me laugh - I'd sent it via their Forum, so it was written by some strange person called Baggybooks!

Well done, BB! Doesn't matter what name appeared - you know it's YOUR letter!!!!

Well done Baggyboots! Now why don't you try submitting an article to them? Although I have heard that the BBC mag stable don't take from 'non-experts'. But there are a whole lot of other family history mags out there - give it a go!

Thanks Fiona - most of the Family Tree type magazines have a massive pile of submissions waiting for publication and they pay very poorly.

When I finally get myself sorted and write the biography, aspects of that will be (I hope) of interest to family historians, so I hope to get into the local history circuits for speakers and magazines too.

I know - but it just seemed funny to turn the pages and be hit by Baggybooks!

Were all the other letters from people with "proper" names?

Baggy Books · October 2008

Yes, but only because the other two had used them on the forum. I would never reveal my true identity!

What delicious irony in magazine called Who Do You Think you Are? :)
