Before You Become A Memoir Ghostwriter

By Christine Wallace


A lot of people who are in demanding careers like lawyers, doctors or celebrities have a lot to share but no time to put it down in a paper. A memoir ghostwriter is someone who has dedicated their life into telling the stories of other people. These people enjoy putting down ideas therefore they will be willing to tell your story with your byline and your voice.

This type of a story teller is never mentioned anywhere in the published work but they get paid by the clients and could be a flourishing business for a freelancer. A lot of people who look for services are too busy in their careers. They have no time but at the same time or lack the skills to pen down something sensible but want to attract clients and make a name.

A lot of people have ideas and would love to share their stories to encourage other people but do not know how to do it. Therefore they look for a gifted person to help share their story with the world. Some of the best celebrity authors would not be that famous without help from such people. They walk readers into how that famous person became successful.

Having an idea is not good enough when you do not know how to share these ideas. If you really want to take responsibility of your work at least consult someone to guide you on the format and also help you edit. These people know how much money is needed for a publications and how long it will take. They can also help you market your story to the right audience.

In case you have tried having a couple of your books out but they did not do so well try working under a celebrity. You will not have your own byline but you might end up making much more since their work reaches a wider audience due to the fact that they are famous. It may feel like you are living under someone else but you will build your brand.

Profiles are interesting pieces because they show the cool things that other people have done. Therefore if you choose to be part of their story you must dedicate most of your time listening to them. It needs collaboration of the two parties because sometimes they might not remember the exact dates or would want something changed.

Putting down a story is tiring and needs one to commit most of their time therefore make sure you have laid out your charges and the payment plan. You should at least receive your first part before you start working as a way to motivate you. Have a plan on how fast you can get the feedback so that the book can be ready as planned.

Make sure you understand what your position is when doing this kind of work. Being a writer does not make you overlook the real story that needs to be told. That is not your story therefore listen to their ideas and find a way to put them down. Capture the voice of your client not yours and it will help you break into the industry.
