: Re: How do publishers fact-check a memoir about prison? I was holding off on doing this, or possibly never doing it, but now I am thinking of writing a memoir about prison. My question is this:
Honestly? Publishers don't fact check. They don't have the time. They want to make money on your book.
If it comes to light later that your story is completely fictional...well, then it will come down on the head of the author for simply being a liar.
If there is a personal fact checker hired to scope out your story, then really there is no way for them to know if the names you used were legitimate or not.
Writing a memoir really comes down to you. And that's what's so cool about it in a way, you know. It's somebody's own personal memory. Their retelling of an event.
So want to write about prison? Go for it.
