My novel includes information and stories about real and imaginary characters and provides fictional accounts of the real people. There are two minor characters from the book that are still alive and I'm wondering what kind of trouble I could be in should someone choose to publish the book.
My first thought was to reach out to them but they've ignored my attempts (probably think i'm a loon).
My second thought is to just let the publisher/agent tell me how to deal with it.
My last thought (ever) is to fictionalize all the characters and let any resemblance to real people be assumed by the reader.
Any thoughts from the board? Appreciate it.
Alan
