Memoir ghostwriting: There are lots of journals and services available to capture stories from older relatives and the history of our families. I take the responsibility off of you and your relatives. Instead of asking them to fill in books, I conduct 1-1 interviews (producing audio you can cherish forever), and write a complete memoir based on the interviews. As a ghostwriter, I write the story in the voice of the storyteller, and revise according to feedback. I then facilitate production of a hardcover book, complete with photos.
Or perhaps you want your own memoir. Do you have useful life experience and advice to offer readers? Have you experienced a difficult or traumatic event, and want to share your story for the benefit of others or as a cathartic exercise? Fees dependent on scope of project.
