Week Seven Prompt Response
I feel like fake memoirs can be very detrimental, especially since readers are getting deceived into thinking that the information they are reading is true and factual. Publishers and authors that are publishing these false memoirs as truth are making it so that readers are not going to trust what is being put out there. It is harmful for those that are actually writing the truth because it could cause those readers to not believe that after hearing about so many being fake. Memoirs can be very helpful and inspiring, but that's when they are the truth and accurate. When it is discovered that the information was fabricated or misrepresented to create a better story, it is causing more harm than good. Readers are going to be upset by this and for a good reason and it could cause them to not read other memoirs or non-fiction for fear that the information they are receiving is fake as well. It's sad that this is something that we have to watch out for but maybe now that it has come to so many readers' attentions less will be created.

I agree, not only does it make the author look bad, it makes the publishing company look bad. I with editors had devoted fact checkers who could look into main aspects of biographies to make sure they are accurate. Full points!
