Make Life A Little Easier With Memoirs Ghostwriting

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.

Why use a ghostwriter when you could write it yourself? There are many reasons why people choose to use a ghostwriter. Sometimes they would love to write the book themselves but are not able to due to physical restrictions, such as arthritis. In other cases someone might have a strong idea for a book but not the time to actually write it.

Hiring a ghostwriter means you can be as involved as you want to be. Some writers are simply given a brief and then left to do all the work. Others work alongside the author the entire time so it is more of a collaboration than simply a book written by a ghost. The level of involvement depends on the individual and their needs.

So what is a ghostwriter? It is someone who writes the book for you but does not take credit for the work. Your name is on the cover as the author and all the royalties are yours. They can be as involved as you would like them to be. Some ghostwriters do all the work and some are only slightly involved in the book's creation.

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.

One benefit of using a ghostwriter is that they can conduct interviews and look at the project from an entirely new perspective. They will be unbiased and able to use that objectivity to write a stronger book. Their insight could also influence the tone and direction of the book in a way that is unexpected but very helpful and positive.

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 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.
