Are you naturally curious? empathetic? mildly tech-savy? and love to write? Then you have what it takes to ghostwrite someone’s memoir.
Writing another person’s memoir is a real experience, not just for the author— who will find surprising satisfaction is reliving bygone years—but for you, the ghostwriter, as well. Stepping into another person’s shoes broadens your horizon. You get an intimate glimpse into another life that you didn’t live, but that you feel and experience almost as if you had.
I’m a landlubber. My husband owns a small boat yet I’m willfully ignorant of how to use it. I only see the boat when it’s 80 or more degrees and calm outside. Yet when I ghostwrote a memoir for a world champion sailor, I reveled in every race and felt the surge of victory with every win. It was fun!
Maybe you have someone whose life you’d like to capture. And maybe your ambition feels greater than your abilities. Not to worry. Any effort towards ghostwriting a legacy memoir is a worthwhile effort. Seriously. Any preservation of a life story is a treasure to someone somewhere.
You could ease the way with this 8-step guide on how to ghostwrite someone’s memoir. The reward in the time you’ll spend with your author, and in the time you spending capturing their life in words, is beyond what you can even imagine. And if you want a free consultation about your project, I’m happy to share ideas and point you in the right direction.
Good luck!!!
