Life stories and histories, written with consent.

Good to know
- We need written consent from every living person the book is about, or from the heirs, and the subject approves the final text.
- When a book drafted with AI help is published on Amazon Kindle, we declare it as AI-generated, as Amazon requires.
- Whether Indian law gives copyright in text drafted with AI help is not settled, so we cannot promise you exclusive copyright in that text.
- We check any sensitive statement about a living person with you before it goes into the book.
