Hey guys, I'm almost done with a CM Punk biography that I'm writing, that I promise you all will enjoy, especially his diehard fans.It covers his entire career and life. But I'm searching for someone who could pitch in and design a cool cover for the book. I'm going to upload it to amazon as an ebook, but who knows where it goes from there.
Any cool graphic designers willing to help out? If so email me at felix113688@gmail.com

While I'm not much of a designer, good luck with the book, man!

Is it legal to write a biography of someone's life, without their consent?
Honest question.

I wouldn't attach my name in any way shape or form to a book that isn't in its "legal boundaries". Even an unofficial biography has to get concent from its source.

Now where those fall in terms of legal standings I haven't the slightest clue. Yes, but in this case WWE would be uo for discussion, including its talents. On a forum its ok, but when something is drawing profit with WWE's registered trademarks being used throughout the pages, thats when you get into a legal bind. Now, it would take alot of sales for anyone in the WWE department that is responsable to find unauthorized use of their trademarks, but IF it were to make an impact and sold heavily ( it is Punk!) then you'd probably be looking at a hefty fine at least. Royalty payments, copyright infrendgment, and I'm sure a slew of other fines. I wouldn't risk it.

Guns N' Roses is a registered trademark and I'm sure it was mentioned a good number of times in the unauthorized Axl Rose book. Like I said, it's all a big legal grey area. I know I for one wouldn't want my name attached to it in a "better safe than sorry" scenario but I don't believe there is anything wrong as long as you give proper citation and make it abundantly clear that it is unauthorized.

Honest question. What information do you have to write a good biography on Punk? Do you know him? Can you write a lot about his life that we don't already know? Not trying to insult you but I get the feeling that this biography will just be a compilation of information we already know from DVDs, wrestling history, or dirt sheets.
Unless you can tell the readers something interesting, that isn't well known already, you really shouldn't bother trying to make a profit on it. Just regurgitating old information will make it sound like a 5th grade research essay.

Except that thread IS about current WWE talk. Punks revelations have spurred a lot of conversation pertaining to the way things are inside the WWE CURRENTLY....its a fine line man. But since Punk isn't with WWE anymore I cant allow the WWE board to clogged up with chat about him, writing books about him etc. I have just moved a thread to the UFC board too. Punk being scouted by White aint WWE talk either.

I'm curious what you have in here as a selling point, like what can you present a fan that they don't already know from either Punk himself, or a WWE produced documentary chronicling his career (which was pretty comprehensive as of the "BEST IN THE WORLD" DVD).
Are you citing your sources (if you have any) or are you claiming this to be all knowledge YOU yourself discovered? What can you present that is NEW that will make readers want to bother with this?
I'm not looking to KNOCK you or anything here, but I doubt how good this will be based on the lack of detail in your original post... and your sentence structure and grammar to be perfectly frank.
