The Rich And Enlightening Experience Of Memoirs Ghostwriting

By Shirley Reed


Most writers achieve only a shadow of what they intended while attending college. For most of us, newspapers, television, or online articles are the most we are likely to achieve, as we live in a world of hostile competition and slim opportunity. However, if one has the opportunity to conduct memoirs ghostwriting, it can take them right out of the mediocre, and catapult their career into a colorful new direction.

To write such stories, the ghostwriter must pay particular attention to every facet of the history of their subject. They need to have a genuine interest in the story that is being shared with them. A great deal of trust is being placed in their ability to be non-biased, entertaining, thorough and creative as they record events their subject carries strong emotions on.

These writers may find their jobs impossible unless the subject grants them free reign to their life. This includes their home and all documents therein, be they letters or legal documents, Christmas cards, certificates of births and deaths, and all records or photographs of notable events. Sometimes the subjects are very elderly, and their home in disarray, so organizing this information can be tedious.

It might even be advantageous if the subject is bedridden. Elderly men and women often become enraged when they see someone going through their belongings, and this makes the job quite difficult. Even though they may have requested their services, and paid them a large retainer for same, actually witnessing a stranger in their attic can cause chaos in their heart.

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.

In order to make their work entertaining and engaging for the readers, ghostwriters have the power to utilize creative license where appropriate. Just as Mark Twain did when writing Pudd'nhead Wilson, ghostwriters are masters at creating an Ebonics alphabet, mimicking the accent and colorful language of their subject. When done expertly, such a writer can win the Pulitzer.

Anyone who is friend or kin to a ghostwriter might wish to keep tabs on them while they are in their writer limbo. Artists often suffer for their work, especially when their work requires them to truly experience events in their imagination so that they can describe vital details. This process is often stressful, and can actually cause post traumatic stress.

There are few tasks more challenging than taking a horrific or ugly story and telling it in a beautiful way. Writers who possess this talent help grant clarity to our hindsight, and they can plant the seeds of compassion for men and women placed in compromising situations. These stories give us a background that helps us to change the future by making better choices than those of the past.
