Tips For Becoming 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.

In as much as you would want to tell your story all alone sometimes you will need assistance. Look for a person who has been in the field longer. They know the right places to get your work published and the best ways to market it. They will also guide you on the best words to use to keep your audience glued and asking for more.

If you have been trying to have your own byline for a long time but to no success you can try living in the shadows. It does not make you invisible when you put down a story and never get credited for it but you will make a lot of money from it. Choose the clients you work for nicely if you want to build a good and long lasting reputation.

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.
