How to gather stories for a book

Post by toplay »

Hello,

I'm embarking on my first book and I wish to enlist and incorporate peoples true stories into the book (similar to Chicken Soup of the Soul).

I'm wondering do I have to get people to sign something to give me permission to use their story in the book?

Do I have to compensate people for their stories?

How or where can one ask for stories (forums/craigslist)?

Please share any information that you think would be pertinent.

I'm sorry if this is not the right topic area to post this.

Thank you.

I'm not sure. You can probably find a website about publishing books or even a book about publishing books.
