You have an idea for a memoir, but you know you need help to write it.
You sense you will not realize your dream of publishing your memoir if you attempt to write in isolation and without an expert editor/writer to support and guide you. You don't know where to start nor how to keep going both technically and emotionally! You know you don't have the writing experience nor the energy and time to acquire specialized skills.
"But, I want to write my memoir!" you persist in saying.
We can help you succeed. Our ghostwriters have helped many, many people--just like you--to "write the story of my life" and we can help you, too.
You've tried to write your memoir but have floundered, gotten lost, become discouraged.
A memoir co-author offers exactly the help you need by taking your project in hand and crafting your lifestory the way a builder uses your vision to build your dream house.
"Writing my memoir has proven harder than I thought," you lament. Not to worry! We have brought many hesitant or stalled memoir projects to their successful completions. Our ghostwriters can do the same for your lifestory.
You've written a rough draft--a collection of disparate vignettes and short pieces--that ambles and gets lost here and there.
You've enjoyed the process--somewhat!--and perhaps you want to continue writing parts of your memoir--vignettes, scenes, dialogues--but you know you need a professional co-author to weave your bits together in order to create a coherent and interesting autobiography that conveys your worldview and themes.
"Writing my autobiography has come to a standstill!" you realize. An experienced lifestory co-author who has "been there and done that" can analyze the status of your memoir, take the action necessary, and bring your book of personal stories to completion in record time.
You've written a lot of your memoir already--and some of it reads well--but you know it needs structural work--more than simple editing might provide.
You have reread your memoir manuscript many times--sometimes you feel you are merely staring at it one more time--and still the changes you ought to effect remains elusive.
What's more, you are growing tired of writing! You are ready for your autobiography to take its place in the world, but you've run out of energy to re-write and polish it, or don't know how to take it to the next stage.
Which writing questions should you ask?
Which transition stories still need to be written?
Which stories ought to be eliminated because they don't contribute to your memoir as a whole or to your theme?
Are the characters sufficiently delineated?
Are the settings detailed so that the reader has a sense of walking through the world that was once yours?
Is the authorial persona that narrates your memoir effective?
How do you shape the larger story so that it has more drive?
How do you pace the memoir manuscript so that not all parts are given equal treatment as if they were all equal in your life's progress.
How do you challenge yourself to go deeper into the story, to visit meaningful parts of the story you feel reluctant to explore?
As your autobiography ghostwriters, we can address all of these issues and create a text that fully expresses and embodies the life you wish to memorialize in your book of lifestories.
You know you could write your lifestory yourself over the next years but you choose not to.
Taking on crafting an autobiography alone is simply more than you want to commit to. The learning curve can be steep, and you sense that working with a professional memoir co-writer will move the project along quickly, efficiently.
"I don't need to put off creating my memoir," you realize. No, you don't! A ghostwriter who meets writing challenges every day is generally able to ease the creation process and speed up the completion of writing your book.
You want help to make this a rewarding process.
Whatever your starting point, the end result of working with a skillful, sensitive co-author is the published memoir you now dream of holding in your hands, of sharing with your family and friends--and possibly the world.
A ghostwriter provides technical skills and a writer's sensibility to your project as well as professional confidence, and you provide the lifestory details you want to share and preserve. The story of your life and/or work unfolds as you and your co-writer "meet" by telephone, e-mail, and letters. Your co-author crafts your memories into an interesting and impactful memoir manuscript which you can then adapt and alter as much--or as little--as you choose.
Together, your and your ghostwriting professional of you bring your lifestory from where it is stuck now to an interesting published memoir that both entertains and informs its audience.
When it is finished, your memoir will have your voice and your message. Your ghostwriter will have faded into the background. The autobiography you will be holding in your hands will be your book in every way.
