Should I Go Ahead With This ?
 

As you may know my partner Dravyk was a writer. Among the things I rescued from his house before his family threw everything out were boxes of things he had written over the years and things he and I had written but never done anything with. One of the things which is about 99% finished is a book about our time in the porn industry. It basically just needs editing since we both wrote freestyle and just exchanged what we wrote. I know there are some legal things I have to clear up, but do you think I should go ahead with this book and get it published..or try and get it published?

Heck yeah. That would be an interesting read. I know I'd enjoy it.

If you can get it into PDF you can get it self published to anything from a paperback book to a coffee table sized one.

I would do it for sure. :)

Best of luck with it, if you decide to go ahead:okthumb:

That's an idea. I would look into all possibilities if its decided to go ahead with it. I have a LOT of Harry's stuff. He even wrote a full length novel. I was thinking that I might be able to set up some kind of entity so that any money made from his writings could go to a hospital that deals with IHSS, which is what Harry died of. I don't know why he didn't try and get some of this stuff published himself. I think some of it is really good.

Agreed! :clapping:

I hate to be the dissenting note here, but what's it's legal status?
"Family threw out" has a way of morphing to "someone stole out of his attack" after it makes $10 profit, 3 years later after all your work?

Just saying....

His brother asked me if I wanted the stuff when he was throwing things out..and I said I did. He also gave me boxes of Harry's music casettes...yes, casettes...and I got all of the computer stuff because it belonged to the business. The brothers attorney signed off on this.

I actually did "take" the cat because she was about to be taken to the ASPCA, and I promised Harry I wouldn't let that happen. Actually there was a will which left everything to me, including the house, but Harry never dated or signed it....so I guess his brother was being generous by letting me have whatever I wanted from the house. I really only wanted things that meant something to Harry. I didn't want the house. I didn't want the money. I didn't want the giant TV with the XBox games, I didn't want much of anything. The stuff that I wanted was considered junk by his family

Since I wouldn't be keeping any profits I think its probably ok, but of course thats one of the things I would discuss with my attorney before I started doing anything.

Re: Should I Go Ahead With This ?
 

Sounds like a good idea to me...
I'd have to agree with gonzo, book/publishing/distribution deals are extremely difficult to negotiate and obtain..

Re: Should I Go Ahead With This ?
 

I'd have to sat go for it, I'm sure there would be a lot of us out here that would be interested in reading it.
