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.

There are a surprising amount of bestselling books out there that have been written by ghostwriters. You would never know it unless the author confessed to it, and ghostwriters are the unsung hero of the literary world. Usually it is celebrity memoirs that are ghostwritten, but some popular fiction books are also.

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.

A ghostwriter should have experience and talent and be able to take your idea and turn it into a reality. If you are writing a memoir then you will be heavily involved in the process. If it is fiction then you can take a step back and let them run with it. A quality ghost will ensure that what they write is what you had in mind.

Hiring a ghostwriter is not cheap, but it is good value for money. They put in a great deal of time into each project, from getting to know the author to interviewing friends and family to actually writing the book. It takes the pressure off you so it is certainly worth the money, but it also means that you get to work with a writer who is truly passionate about their work.

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.

Ultimately, no matter how much of a role the writer has on the project, at the end of the day it is your project and you have final say. After all, it is your name that is going on the book so it makes sense that you need it to be exactly what you had in mind. The ghostwriter may have more experience than you, but don't let them push you around.

Writing and publishing your memoirs is a way of leaving a legacy behind you. Whether you are only doing it so that your family knows your story, or whether you want a much wider readership, it is your story that you are leaving behind and you owe it to yourself to make it the best it possibly can be. Therefore hiring a ghostwriter that you truly believe in is vital to the process.
