Has anyone published posthumously for someone who died? It was the wish of my wife that I publish her book after her death. I know it's been done before but I would like input about anyone on here who has done it.

I have no direct experience but I would suggest you have a lawyer set up an appropriate contract to assign the copyright of the work to you.

Hi
I have not actuly published anything in the way you describe. However , copyright is a personal possession . If your wife has left it to you , it belongs to you and can published it as your personal possession .
