I thought my manuscript was finished… until I realized I needed to change names and personal details to avoid legal issues. In this video, I talk about the tricky (and time-consuming) side of handling real people in your memoir and what I’m learning about the legal side of self-publishing. Have you had to change names or details in your own writing? Let me know in the comments! #selfpublishing #writingtips #memoirwriting #indieauthor #writingcommunity
