From the front matter

“If this book describes your life and you would be willing to tell your real story for a future edition — with your consent, your review, and your veto — I would like to hear from you.”

What you’re agreeing to, and what you’re not

  • Nothing is published without your written consent. Sending this form is an expression of interest, not permission to print.
  • You read what’s written about you before anyone else does. If a draft goes forward, it comes to you first.
  • You can withdraw at any point up to press. A change of mind is always allowed, no reason required.
  • You choose how you’re identified — first name only, a pseudonym, or your full name.
  • A reply is not a guarantee of inclusion. Many good stories will not fit the shape of the edition.
