Quite an unusual situation!
Hi to all. I am 76 years old. Born in London, England, September 2nd. 1928.
I have written my autobiography, and a very intelligent and sophisticated university student, age 21, is editing it for me.
Although she seems to be quite happy in doing this, she has mentioned that it is a "Horrendous task". But she is also writing a book herself and would like the experience that my story is giving her, because being an author is what she intends doing.
I now realize that being an author takes a tremendous amount of time, and knowledge, and that now that I have to attend to the very difficult job of, formatting, submitting, copywriting finding an agent. Plus anything else that a novice like me has probably missed!
Now before I waste any more of your time, I will get to the point.
I would like to offer her the opportunity of being the author of my story. I am quite sure it will help her in her chosen profession, but I would like the proceeds of my story if it gets published, it has been made obvious to me that she is not in the position, at this time, of needing money, and I could sure do with some. Obviously she must agree, but before I mention it to her, is there any of you nice people, who could suggest the best way of setting this up?
I have researched other books similar to mine, but they do not “hold a candle” compared to the interesting and unusual things that happened to me!
The story is my life from six years old to the present, and consists of unusual situations with my family, as a sailor in the British Royal Navy, as a police officer in the Toronto and Toronto Township Police Departments and the reason that we all immigrated to New Zealand, (but came back!)
The title is: Bullied. Abused and Bewildered.
If you have taken the time to read this, I thank you.
