"I know of another writer who said she found out writers can use song titles.... but lyrics permission must be had. I don't think there is an easy way - start with management! Good luck with that and your novel!!!"

Need advice on a book I am writing - third or first person?
Hi Everyone, If anyone has any advice on this I'd love to hear from you! I was hired to write a book by this guy who ended up in a wicked divorce situation.

(Both our names will be on the cover as authors)... I feel it should be in third person otherwise it comes across as a he said she said chapter and in my opinion, loses credibility (or…See More

Looking for help for a contact re: publishers
Hi Everyone!I interviewed two women yesterday who live in Nova Scotia for an article I am writing on ritual abuse. These ladies are dedicated advocates who lecture worldwide and are recognized by the UN. They are nurses who once counseled victims then saw the need to advocate as often this abuse is torture and is tied in to human trafficking. Their work to help children and women is admirable.Anyway... they have written a book about the horrific experiences of one woman. They also know of…See More

I am a co-Founder of The Saferoom Project and survivor, and without question those who survived ritual abuse have incredibly less understanding and resources for their support. Thanks for your great work!
Hope you are well!

Sounds like everything you've thought to add is exactly what I'd suggest.
When would you like to post it? You're welcome to do it this month, if you'd like.
Cheers
