How to gather stories for a book
Posted: 06 Sep 2008, 22:08
Hello,
I'm embarking on my first book and I wish to enlist and incorporate peoples true stories into the book (similar to Chicken Soup of the Soul).
I'm wondering do I have to get people to sign something to give me permission to use their story in the book?
Do I have to compensate people for their stories?
How or where can one ask for stories (forums/craigslist)?
Please share any information that you think would be pertinent.
I'm sorry if this is not the right topic area to post this.
Thank you.
