Ghost Writing an autobiography – The easy way to write your book.

Your Life Story project need not only be about the audio that you’ve taken the time to record and edit, it could also include using that content in writing a book. But do you have the determination and skills?
Today on Episode 21 of Create Your Life Story we talk about how to write a biography even if you don’t have the ability, or how to finish writing it, now that you’ve started but stalled.
Create Your Life Story is all about recording editing and publishing audio Life Stories. Once the audio is recorded we have the ideal core resource material for publishing that content as a written biography. As mentioned in last weeks episode Record a Life Story then Write a Biography, the audio is a great content source particularly if you’ve gone to the trouble to have it transcribed as a written version of the conversation. This transcript is fine as a searchable document on our personal WordPress.com site but it doesn’t really work as a book. It’s just a series of anecdotes and stories with no real theme running through the Life Story. What we need to do now is knock the text into shape, to write it into a story form so we have a much more entertaining read. But maybe we don’t have the skills.
What we need is someone who can take the audio or transcript and thread these story gems onto a storytelling strand and make the string of pearls that it is. We need someone who is at a little more distant from the story, maybe a co-author or at least an editor… How about a Ghost Writer?
Interview with Michael Collins of Your Ghost Writer.
This episode includes a conversation with Michael Collins of Your Ghost Writer about how the skills of Ghost Writing can be utilised for creating a biography of your Life Story.
Additional to this edited conversation with Michael is the full length conversation on my other podcast at Your Story on Episode 55 : Michael, Ghost Writing Your Story, about how and why he came to become a Ghost Writer, with some fun anecdotes of his life story. You could do a lot worse than to listen and use Michael’s example of a skilled Life Story, storyteller for your own personal Life Story project.
Giving you a voice in text, additional to the recorded audio.
By utilising the skills of a Ghost Writer we’re still the author, it’s still our voice, written in our personal style from our stories, it’s just written by someone else with the skills and the time that we may not have.
A Ghost writer can bring to a Life Story project:
* Expert advice on all aspects of publishing
* Objective approach to the Life Story to see it for what it is
* Create a story from audio recordings and interviews
* Composition and editing from a transcript
* Edit an existing manuscript
* Ability to tie stories together into a complete Life Story theme
