I hope those of you who have written books (or are in the process) can help me out with this one.
I have an idea for a book on sex/sexual health for teens, but am unsure about pursuing it. Mainly because I don't have the formal education or work-related experience in that field. Well, actually I've written on sexual health topics quite extensively for some big name publications. The thing is I'm afraid I'll be shot down if I go after this, simply because I don't have the Ph.D. or whatever behind my name.
So, in your opinions, do you think this is really required for a book of this nature? Of course I plan to do extensive research and interviews if I decide to go forward with it, but I'm just curious (and scared) about whether this is doable. Thoughts?
