Does anyone have any experience of publishing a memoir that required legal checks to avoid any possible defamation case/claims? My written memoir (I have a publisher lined up) deals with the causes of severe mental health issues encountered and my recovery after an abusive long term relationship. The 'perps' are not named and the book is written under a pseudonym. I have included the names of friends and family, with permission. If I have to pay the cost, which after contacting one firm is over 50% of the actual publishing cost, I will find the money. Thank you
I'm currently working on a book that tells a true and deeply personal story about domestic abuse. While I believe sharing it could help others, I’m am concerned about maintaining my anonymity for personal and emotional reasons.
I’d love to hear from anyone who has experience or advice on publishing under a pseudonym. Specifically:
What steps should I take to protect my identity during the publishing process?
Hi, I have been writing my story for 5 years. You see, its a story I need to tell. I am currently a teenager with hopes and aspirations to publish my story and have gone down the route of writing a novel on it. 40,000 words. I know it isn't much for a novel but its a lot for a teenager. I have the story written down to its bare bones and lots of dialogue but its not really flowing and I need to restructure the whole thing. I would really just like some advice and someone to understand how hard it actually is.
