5. Do you have the info to share with the writer?

Will you have editorial rights to ensure that the story is told factually, to your satisfaction?

If so, will s/he be sharing book profits? Not sure how you are planning to do this, but it will take someone with intimate details of Lilo's life story many hours sitting with the writer to convey all the info.

I feel it has great potential!

Please let us know what you decide?
