Posthumous Publication

Posthumous publication refers to the release of a work, such as a book or article, after the author has died. This happens when an author finishes or nearly finishes a work, and it is published later by others, often with the author's approval or due to their estate's decisions. It allows the author's ideas or stories to reach the public even after their death, preserving their legacy and contributing to ongoing cultural or scholarly conversation. The process involves legal and ethical considerations to honor the author's intentions and rights.
