1. Many of my greek memories I'd like to keep for me and my brothers alone, some people might understand that, some might not, but my greek memories are just that, mine.
3. Like tridelta4ever stated: the majority of the book would be written by the submitters of the memories. Of course you can factor in editing and rewording, maybe writing a preface and a few memories of your own, a glossary of greek slang words and such, but it is more of a collaboration, a collection, then being written by a single person.

My response to #1 is, if you don't want to share it, DON'T! No one is forcing you to submit anything.
My response to # 2 is, navane, why don't you put yourself as being an editor of the stories? I know of many college professors who have published books that included several essays from colleagues on a certain subject. On the cover it says Edited by........enter name here. Therefore you are not saying you are the autor, but instead you edited the work of these people related to the subject. I see nothing wrong with that since it is done al the time.
Navane, do what you want to do. It will probably take a lot of research and effort to get past all the tape, but I think it's worth it. I would definetely buy it.
