Everyone who obtains a degree in journalism or literature believes they will one day be another Pat Conroy. In reality, most writers wind up becoming masters of spin for the local newspaper or television station. It takes guts, ambition, and a great deal of creativity for a memoirs ghostwriting author to find someone that the world will sufficiently regard as a person of interest.
Sometimes we find a subject by accident, and that man or woman makes a generous offer for the opportunity to have their story told from their point of view. Sometimes a writer pursues the work themselves, and commits to this duty for a stipend, or less. No matter how the job is obtained, this writer must know that their role is a vital element in the telling of historical events.
These writers may find their jobs impossible unless the subject grants them free reign to their life. This includes their home and all documents therein, be they letters or legal documents, Christmas cards, certificates of births and deaths, and all records or photographs of notable events. Sometimes the subjects are very elderly, and their home in disarray, so organizing this information can be tedious.
When hoarding is an issue, the subject might want to leave their home for a period of time in order to avoid placing unnecessary stress on their writer. Elderly people are notoriously hostile when their property is being picked through, and hoarders have been known to experience mental or psychotic breaks during the process. If they are hospitalized or bedridden it may actually make the task easier.
Photographs, newspaper clippings, letters, and personal diaries all make the job for the ghostwriter go smoothly. Not only does it reflect how the subject thought and felt at the time of certain events, but it also provides a concise bibliography backing up the manuscript. No writer wishes to be called a Charlatan, but the fact is, documentation guards the writer against fraud on the part of their subject.
In order to make their work entertaining and engaging for the readers, ghostwriters have the power to utilize creative license where appropriate. Just as Mark Twain did when writing Pudd'nhead Wilson, ghostwriters are masters at creating an Ebonics alphabet, mimicking the accent and colorful language of their subject. When done expertly, such a writer can win the Pulitzer.
These writers often spend months or years away from their normal daily routines in order to tell a story. When the story is one of horror, death, murder, betrayal, or war, their immersion in that world can cause them true suffering. Family and friends are encouraged to touch base with them often to help keep their mental health strong and clear.
Only the brave may walk the hallways of history, as terrible events surely befell mankind in the wake of great triumph. Only a soldier of the written word dare cross the bridges that burned decades past. These terrible truths must be written with bitter-sweetness and beauty so that all of us can weep in wonderment at the exquisite beauty and horror of human beings.
