Dear Writers:

The link below will take you to the NY Times article concerning the family feud over the Malcolm X papers.

I'm bringing this to your attention because it is a cautionary tale about ensuring that you make a will to protect your work, or donate your writing or manuscripts to an institution. Unfortunately Malcolm's family didn't have a legal document that would have protected his unpublished works.

Please read this disheartening story that divided his family.

Write Away.
