I'm working on a nonfiction book and have told short stories about 8 different people. They include:
- Helen Keller
- Gandhi
- David Goggins (Navy Seal from the book Can't Hurt Me)
- Eric Greitens (Navy Seal, author, and former governor of Missouri)
- Louis Zamperini (WWII veteran in the story Unbroken)
- William Kwambamba (African boy who created windmill from scraps, in The Boy Who Harnessed The Wind)
- Florence Chadwick (famous swimmer)
- Debbie Ford (Former cancer survivor & author of a book called Courage)
I want my book to include short stories I've written about these peoples' lives & accomplishments. Some of them are still living. Others are not. Does this make a difference in whether or not I can write about them? For what it's worth, the book title does not mention anything about these people, so I would not be using their names to promote my book. Can anyone provide suggestions? I want to make sure I'm doing this right. Thanks!
