Including memes in my book was something I was intent on from the start - this was something that would really get my audience's attention and I absolutely loved the idea of it. However, a lot of online memes have copyrights attached to them, so couldn't be use in my work. I knew I had to be very careful of this, so did a lot of research on the subject beforehand. You can find the information I discovered in my 'Useful Links' post. While I found that, sadly, a lot of the memes my audience had suggested were tied to copyright laws, I did discover that there were some that weren't (like 'doge', which is 100% usable unless it's referred to as 'doge'). I also found that a lot of 'verbal memes' were also free for use.
Similarly with emojis. They are free for use as long as they are drawn by yourself and not copying anyone else's design.
