Common questions
I do not know much about her job. Can I still write it?
Ask one colleague for the line they will remember and the story only insiders know. Those two answers carry most of the book.
Is there a deadline?
Only the date of her leaving do. Count back from it with the production and shipping times on this page, or use the digital edition.
Can a colleague be drawn in it?
Yes. Add their photo and they appear beside her in the work chapters.
