Hi, I have written a fictional diary covering events in the UK from a couple of decades ago. The writer is a purely fictional character, however he does come across various politicians and the odd celebrity of the time, which he records in his diary. It is a comedy and the situations and things that happen with these celebrities are clearly nonsense and obviously did not happen. However, does anyone know the legalities of writing in such a way. My gut feel it that it is fine, as if not, how would such comedy shows as spitting image etc be made.
I am not a writer myself but I work as a translator and recently one of my foreign clients asked me if I could become a literary agent in the UK for her fiction book series (that I have translated to English). She cannot find an agent in the UK herself since she does not speak English.
I said I will do my research and will reply.
However, finding information about this is incredibly difficult. There is very little information out there about submitting translated books to UK publishing houses.
