Michael Jackson book.

[Tom]

Hey guys,

Im seriously considering writing a tribute book to Michael Jackson, which I could hopefully get published (I live in the UK). It will be a sort of fan tribute/beginners guide to Michael, featuring a descriptive account of his life. Also, I would love to have his discography, a lot of quotes, some lyrics, interviews and pictures. It will be completely positive too.

I would need many peoples help in terms of knowlege of his career. Also I am only 16 so I dont know if I would be taken seriously, also being a beginner author.

The only problem is I know there are LOADS of these books, with a sharp increase after his death. I am wondering what to do to make the book stand out from the others. As I say it will be heavily involved in the fans and I would like to conduct interviews with some of his friends.

How do I go about this? I will first write the career section before considering the more difficult parts but I would like help on how to contact people for interviews and quotes. I think that if this is a sucess it will be a great achievement for me.

Please help.
Tom

I think you need to rest your idea abit.
You might write it in a couple of years, after the 'dead' period. Then you could make a book that's unique. Let you inspire from other books, like Dancing The Dream or Michael Jackson Opus.
Combine poems with philosophical reflections.
Don't make the truth boring but let it live.
And remember:
