Gay Iraq war veteran combat photographer with PTSD memoir

This is an initial sample project of editing one chapter or more before committing to the entire full project of one book for my memoir. I need someone to help finish my memoir. I’m very busy and just don’t have the time. I have written out some chapters and would like them edited and help with the flow. I also need guidance on whether I should have short stories or one long memoir that continues or a mixture of both. I want to have themes of overcoming issues and challenges and strategies used to overcome. I also want to incorporate images I photographed in Iraq into my book and story telling. I made up names for certain characters but need help understanding who I could refer to by name with or without a release such as people who have passed away. I’m a gay Marine corps veteran that served two tours in Iraq as a Combat Camerman 4641 MOS. I had a challenging childhood with gang violence, drug dealing, and identity acceptance of being gay in a catholic upbringing but also including Hispanic heritage growing up in Austin, Texas where I don’t speak Spanish or know anything about Mexican culture. I was a combat photographer who witnessed a wide range of combat and encountered lots of unique Marines and experiences. I served during don’t ask don’t tell and it was illegal to be gay at the time. I had met up with another gay individual who was in the Navy aboard my base at Camp Al Taqaddum and developed an odd relationship with them. Once I got out, I struggled to make ends meet. I still did photography and upon getting hired by a client for head shots it ended up with him paying me more for sex. That started my quick cash for sex phase. I also was a photographer for a gay porn company and did porn for money as I struggled to make ends meet as a college student and worked various jobs. I also struggle with ptsd after Iraq experiences and struggled with the veterans affairs for help in my conditions. I’m a disabled veteran and want to tell the challenges of mental health. I have an artistic side of me and incorporate poems and different styles of writing in addition to just telling my story. There are erotic stories and I need someone who isn’t shy about writing these experiences. There is also gritty war stories and realities of PTSD and the writer should be capable of depicting dark stories and twisting creative styles of writing to describe the feelings of a war veteran and depict how I felt. I also like humor and want to detail good times I’ve had as well in telling my journey and even being inspired by individuals who may be bad guys to normal people but due to my upcoming they helped shape me to who I am and having no fear and never giving up. Deliverables • I Need an editor and writer to finish out chapters and stories • edit current work written • help outline the flow • identify themes • build out characters • raise awareness of PTSD • Image copyrights where I was the photographer but in the military. I want to incorporate some of my images.
