Description: I have just posted a seperate job offer but while reading other projects I noticed a woman with this request. I have also wanted the same but I have many questions. Mainly how do you get the information about my life to put into words and into a completed book. Not for publish but for my 3 children and their kids and so on. I started and got several chapters done but cannot find the time to be honest. Would audio recording suffice? Ones I could simply make and then send? I am just testing this subject that is entirely new to me so please forgive my ignorance and bear with me.

Thank you all for this fantastic service. It is just awesome you have decided to spread your God given talent for others (as well as for a nice payday) LOL JK but thank you sincerely! Rob
Job Type: Biography writing
Number of Pages: More than 100

Everyone has an amazing story to tell. I wish I had been able to write my grandfather's story before he passed. I have not yet been published, but let me write your story, and I will tell it like it is meant to be.

I am a professional ghostwriter specializing in memoirs and biographies. I normally work from interviews to produce a publishable manuscript between 50,000 to 75,000 words. Since you have existing material and the ultimate goal is not to publish, but simply to produce a record for loved ones, I can adjust and write from pre-recorded audio if that is preferable. It sounds like you need a combination of developmental editing and ghostwrtiting, so I would need to speak to you before I determine a final project price.

I am a professional freelance writer and I have written several biographies/autobiographies, a few from audio files sent by the client. This is a noble project, putting one's life into words for future generations, even if not formally published. I would be honored to work with you on this project.

Hello, first let me say what a precious project this is-- leaving memoirs for your children and generations to come. As a mother and grandmother (a young grandmother), I can appreciate how special that is. Now, on to my experience. I've been a working writer for 20 years, and freelancing for 8 of those years. I have based my fee upon the numbers of hours I feel it would take to complete the project. Since it's a bio, I'd like to talk with you and record our conversation if you wouldn't mind. What an honor it would be for me to do this project - just knowing that someday, perhaps decades from now, one of your descendants could be reading the bio that I created for you. Blessings to you and those you love.

I understand from your project description you want a bio produced for your children. I would be happy to write it for you. I have been writing professionally for nearly 20 years. I have written a ton of books for clients that have become best sellers. Normally, a bio is about 200 pages. What you can do is record your thoughts and send the audio to me by email or mail. This way when I get them, I will just listen and write. I've worked this way for clients many times with no problems. I can do the project for $2000 and can finish it in 45 days approximately.

I have a unique way of helping individuals with their memoirs, which you already have started. You and I develop a specific outline and then questions based on that outline. I then interview you following the order of the questions and transcribe and edit the copy. I have placed the highest price of $2500, because the cost will depend on final number of pages. I have 30 years of experience as a writer, editor and author of both nonfiction and fiction. I would greatly enjoy working with you and wish you all the best with your book. Sharon Cohen

I have 15 years of experience including 2 published biographies and 2 ghostwritten autobiographies. I have eight books under my own name in print and have written books, reports, ebooks and articles on a wide variety of subjects. After reviewing your notes, I would send you questions to establish the basics. I would then ask you for further information to develop an outline (by audio, email, IM, telephone or a combination). Once the basic information is gathered, I prepare an outline for your approval. I begin writing the book requesting more information as appropriate, sending you each chapter to review while working on the next. Once we have reached the end we review the entire text together. The book will be then laid out so that you can arrange printing via Lulu or similar. I request a down payment of 50% with the balance payable on satisfactory completion. I can provide samples and references and would be happy to discuss your project further.
