Even before being released from hospital I was considering writing a book / booklet on my experiences to help raise awareness of what I experienced and gain some income too. I am actually a writer, with some poetry, short stories and a study of British pub signs to my name (none of them generating J K Rowling levels of income and fame sadly).
Looking at the health market here is very little by way of cancer patient autobiography being sold. Life stories are only easy to sell for celebrities, many of who hire ghost writers.
There is a lot of self-published and vanity writing and lots on blogs, websites and of course, forums like this but it would be great to keep abreast of current cancer related literature and its mainstream publishers too.
I’m all game for making something like ‘a dummy’s guide to cancer ‘ like those other successful publications 
mum wondering if Macmillan could help in this field or do we do it ourselves ??
