• Best webinar I've ever "attended". Lisa's presentation was flawless. Thank you to all for providing this opportunity.
• Excellent speaker, listed and described many options that I had been considering plus some I did not know about. I think this is the best webinar I have listened to yet! Gotta go mind-map now.
• Great webinar! I now feel more confident to try digital tools. Up until now I was just using paper and Word for my writing. Great presentation Liza!
• I am totally motivated to try all of the things she showed us. Thanks to Lisa for giving her time to help us in our writing process.
• I learned several interesting things today! I am working on a family history, and had wondered if Dragon worked well, and I'm guessing that Lisa wouldn't be using it if it didn't! Also had wondered about Print on Demand, so now will be checking out Lulu.
• I was always afraid of the writing process, but it now seems possible. Excellent show and Lisa: I just love your voice!!
• I'm inching my way slowly into the ''techie' and digital world and this webinar was fabulous. Learned  a lot. Everything was explained clearly. Thanks Lisa Alzo and Legacy Family Tree.
• Inspiring! I love the recommendations and explanation of how they work and what she uses them for personally. It makes much more sense when you see those tools applied to an actual project than to just read a description of features. Thanks for providing all of these awesome webinars!
• I've been trying to incorporate writing into my genealogy and have always got stuck. Now I have a plan and some tools to move me forward. Thanks so much!!
• Special thanks for highlighting Scrivener & Evernote!
