This is really helpful information, I've wondered about a lot of this as a writer, especially if you don't get permission. Thank you for sharing and looking forward to your book!

Wow this is exactly what I needed to read. I’ve been writing in a similar way. My research and emails, evidence etc is very solid, however I’m still careful to write in such a way that I’m using pseudonyms and non identifying details, while still being visual enough that those who were there, who were part of it, know.

I’ve been thinking through how to put what I’ve written into a book. For now it’s all been through Substack.

Other victims have also written their own stories and we’ve collaborated together using shared memories and information on some.

This has been so helpful. Thank you. And I can’t wait to read your book. Seems very very familiar.
