The Rich And Enlightening Experience Of Memoirs Ghostwriting

By Shirley Reed


Not every writer is going to accomplish a masterpiece of their own, but that does not mean they cannot make a name for themselves. For one who is appropriately ambitious in their art and creative in their approach, they can make their mark through memoirs ghostwriting. All one needs to find is a subject of adequate interest, charisma, and controversy.

These are a unique set of writers who are called upon to tell the story of a lifetime in such a way that the readers will be entertained and informed while the credibility and moral character of their subject is maintained. Characters who have made a great impact on society place great trust in the one who writes their story. The events which history remembers must be retold so that the readers feel as if they were part of the events.

When writing up the contract for their services, the writers should stipulate in a legally binding way that they will have free access to the entire house and all the members of family or staff therein. Without total transparency on the part of the subject, the writer will find their hands are tied when it comes to being able to tell the story. All photographs, documents, family members, or other companions should be available for the writer to look at, record, or interview.

When hoarding is an issue, the subject might want to leave their home for a period of time in order to avoid placing unnecessary stress on their writer. Elderly people are notoriously hostile when their property is being picked through, and hoarders have been known to experience mental or psychotic breaks during the process. If they are hospitalized or bedridden it may actually make the task easier.

It is not uncommon for the subject to expect their ghostwriter to accept everything they say at face value. For many reasons, this is a dangerous approach to take, as others in the literary world are often looking to discredit their competition. Before a writer adds details to the story, or makes an entry into the bibliography, they must attempt to secure physical proof of controversial details.

When the subject speaks with an accent, or uses some adulterated form of the language, the writer is encouraged to attempt to reflect this in his or her writing. In fact, writers such as Mark Twain are the reason we have the term, Creative License. When a ghostwriter successfully reflects the speaking style, accent, and character of their subject, they keep their readers entertained and engaged.

It is not uncommon for such individuals to become isolated from their normal lives during their stay in the world of the subject. Sometimes they must get inside their heads, experiencing pain and horror as if they were there. This can become stressful or traumatic for the writer, and they will need to take time to connect with the support of family and friends.

This clarity is what the world needs when ghostwriters must recount the most horrific tales of humanities past. In order to give wisdom and clarity for future generations, they must plant seeds of compassion for all sides of a conflict. Understanding is just as important as notoriety when one is setting down historical facts for the record.
