I've recently agreed to undertake the task of writing my father's memoirs (he was a police officer for over thirty years.)
My question is this. What are the laws concerning the use of real people's names, like if I'm describing a scene where he's named several co-workers. Should I seek approvals from all people I mention? And what if they're no longer living?
Or should I change names/ omit?
I'm new to the biography scene, please help.
Thank you in advance!
