I have had a pet project that I've wanted to start for a while now and I'll soon be in a position to make a go of it and I would like some feedback on the idea. The book will be a collection of twelve interviews that will be written up into an essay style with one interview per chapter. I will be interviewing six men and six women between the ages of 18-40 about their experiences and the challenges they have faced as a young(ish) person living with long term disability. Combining the interviews, introduction and conclusion it will be about 40,000 words in length. I plan on publishing it online only and donating all proceeds to a UK charity that helps people who are disabled and trying to use it to raise awareness about what it is like to be a younger person with significant health issues. Most of the feedback I've had from people I know is positive but I would like to throw the idea to people who don't know me as I am concerned that some people may be saying positive things just because they don't want to upset me.
Any general feedback would be great but I would specifically like to know what people think about the idea (I.e. is it to niche), the length and the idea of publishing it solely online.
Thank you.
