For some reason I am beyond weirded out at the coincidence of two posters who insist on being logged in stumbling across the same thread at the same time and engaging in realtime conversation. Truly, we have reached the uncanny valley.

To the first anonymous user: Yes, I agree that memoirs are often difficult to publish. But it also depends on the context and the narrative style, doesn't it?

No, context and narrative style do not matter. Successful memoirs are by very famous people and are usually ghostwritten.

Would he be open to fictionalizing his story? Novels are an easier sell (my agent just a novel like this).

People don't log in on DCUM. And by posting, you're bumping it to the recent thread list, and people are jumping in.

I must admit that in my (albeit limited) spare time, I enjoy playing online games, both on Facebook and outside of it. I also occasionally write in forums, and I’m used to the format where people address each other by their nicknames rather than anonymous names. It feels quite unusual for me that things work differently here.

@Zynoba: My father is finding more and more joy in writing because he’s seeing real progress. He’s attending a kind of tutoring workshop with Novum Publishing for extra support. As far as I know, publishing hasn’t been a topic yet, but I believe he’s heard about the idea of fictionalization. Thank you so much for this exchange, and I wish you a wonderful holiday season!

I'm weirded out by the logins, too.

What a weird thread.
And I hope OP isn’t planning to write a book in English because they can’t even manage a subject line.
