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

By Donald Murphy


For anyone who has always wanted to publish their story, ghostwriters are making that dream a reality. Memoirs ghostwriting is becoming more and more popular and because of this it is now more accessible than ever before. Whatever your story might be, whether it is your personal memoirs or a novel, it could very quickly be published and on the shelves.

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.

A ghostwriter can do all the hard work that you either don't want to do, or can't do, such as carrying out interviews, typing up drafts from voice recordings or organizing files. They can also act as a sounding board for second opinions and to work out problems or aid with writer's block.

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.

Because of the amount of time that goes into a project like this, it can often be expensive. There are certainly cheap options out there, but the quality will be poor. Most of these writers ask for the full payment before or throughout the project, but some will work for a portion of the royalties. However that is a very risky decision as they may end up never getting paid at all.

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.

If you hand over the project to a ghostwriter, it is important to remember that it is still your project and your name will always be associated with it. Therefore, it is a good idea to keep an eye on the proceedings and ensure that it is what you had in mind and true to your author intent.

Whether you want to write your memoirs, fiction or nonfiction, this book is your legacy and as such is hugely important. Ghostwriting could give you more time and objectivity to write a stronger book. Then again, it could show you that you are talented enough to write it all on your own.
