Make Life A Little Easier With Memoirs Ghostwriting

By Donald Murphy


It is surprising how many people have the lifelong dream of publishing a book, but never have the time to make it a reality. This is where memoirs ghostwriting comes in, because it gives people the chance to write that book, publish it and share it with their loved ones. Now anyone can become a published author.

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.

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.

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.

The interview section of the memoir writing process is very important. The author needs to check and confirm facts and conduct interviews to find out further information that can shape the story. Having an outsider undertake the interviews is a good way to get a second perspective. Sometimes it is easy to get bogged down in your own views and stop seeing the reality of a situation.

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.

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.
