I have come across a lot of 'stuff' on the internet suggesting that Dorothy Lumley died last year, but the yearbook for 2014 lists the agency with her as the agent to contact. do I take it that the internet is miss-informed or that the agency has other people at its head now and it is still okay to submit to them?
Sorry, I mistakenly, put the first respondent's name on my answer. So, sorry, to S.A.Barlow and Kimberley Stevens.
Kimberley, publishing a report of somebody's death comes down to the time lag between editing and printing. The yearbook presumably is not like a national daily newspaper, which can publish news within hours of it happening. Could you get on to the yearbook and ask them if their entry on Dorian should be updated. Despite the similarity of my name, I don't know Dorian. But do they have other members of staff other than Dorothy? Judging from your query I assume not.
So good luck.
Thank you Kimberley, I came to the same conclusion and i'm going to leave them until they make their stance more clear.
