Could Memoirs Ghostwriting Be The Change You Need In Your Life?

By Donald Murphy


Everyone has a story in them, but not everyone has the time or ability to write that story up, let alone send it out into the world for other people to read. For those interested in writing their memoirs ghostwriting can be the perfect solution. At the end of the day they have their own story, but someone else has done the legwork for them.

Anyone who has ever written a book will know just how hard it is. It is time-consuming, tiring, mental blocks are always waiting around the corner and sometimes it can feel impossible to be objective. For some people physically writing the book is impossible, due to old age, disability or injury, so having a ghostwriter is a necessity and not a luxury.

Using a ghostwriter means that you can finally tick off writing that book from your to do list and get on with your other passion projects. If you want to be involved in the entire writing process you can be, or you can simply give your instructions and then take a step back until you need to read it. It is really all up to you.

Ghostwriters have the benefit of having a huge amount of experience and industry know how. The sheer quantity of books they have written means that they are ideally placed to help you. The amount of control they take over the project varies, but really it all comes down to the individual as some people want it to be more of a shared project than others.

Hiring a ghostwriter is not a cheap option, so you need to be sure that it is what you want to do and that you have found the right person for the job. Be sure to check references and find out about their previous work before you give them a deposit or commit to a contract. Sometimes a writer might be extremely talented, but not the right one for you.

For memoirs in particular, the interview process is very important. It can be very time consuming and this is where a ghostwriter comes in particularly useful. Not only can they do the interviews for you, but there is a good chance that they will pick up on things that you didn't because you were too close to the project. They can provide a new perspective.

When you use a ghostwriter you have the option of acknowledging their work in the book. Many authors never let any mention of a ghostwriter in their book, but you would have to agree to this beforehand. It is your name that will take pride of place on the front of the book.

Writing a book is a way to leave something behind after you die, and whether you write it yourself or hire a ghostwriter, the end result is the same. How ever you choose to go about it, make sure that the book at the end of it is something you are proud of and want to share with the world. Strive to be the best you can be and it will be reflected on the page.
