My co-author, Lana Cullis, shared the Barbara Sibbald interview with me. It was so helpful! I recently came into possession of journals written by my husband’s grandmother between 1904 and 1916 in South Carolina. I’m only about 20% done with reading and simultaneously digitizing the text. I'm struggling with some of the same issues as Barbara as I consider the options for how to turn this into a publishable book. I was especially surprised to hear her talking about the "mixed media" nature of her book. I was contemplating something similar. One additional issue I have is needing approval from the blood relatives, including my resistant husband. Writing a book of fiction may be my best option. So this interview was very encouraging. Thanks!
