Personal Assistants Often Perform Memoirs Ghostwriting Services

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.

Sometimes we find a subject by accident, and that man or woman makes a generous offer for the opportunity to have their story told from their point of view. Sometimes a writer pursues the work themselves, and commits to this duty for a stipend, or less. No matter how the job is obtained, this writer must know that their role is a vital element in the telling of historical events.

Without free access to the home the job is nearly impossible to accomplish. In fact, sometimes the subject must issue their storyteller a temporary Limited Power of Attorney so that they are able to obtain any legal, medical, or historical documents which might be of a private or protected nature. Many a history teller has had to meticulously organize the documents, photographs, and other memorabilia in homes that can only be described as a hoard.

This gets rough when their subject is an elderly person possessing phobias of theft and murder. Elderly men and women suffer various forms of dementia, and this can cause paranoia. Fears erupt into conflict when they observe hands being placed on their belongings.

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.

Writers must entertain as well as inform, and a good one uses this to their advantage. Mark Twain was best known for his ability to make characters come alive in his stories through the use of written Ebonics. The reader was made to truly hear the voices of characters through the creative recreation of their accented Pigeon English.

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.

Only the brave may walk the hallways of history, as terrible events surely befell mankind in the wake of great triumph. Only a soldier of the written word dare cross the bridges that burned decades past. These terrible truths must be written with bitter-sweetness and beauty so that all of us can weep in wonderment at the exquisite beauty and horror of human beings.
