Hi everyone,

I’m at a point where I really want to put my life story into a memoir, but I’m not sure I can do it justice on my own. I’ve been considering working with a memoir ghostwriter, but I honestly don’t know where to start.

I’ve read that a good ghostwriter can capture your voice, structure your story, and even help you find themes you didn’t know were there. But I’m wondering:

How do you choose the right memoir ghostwriter?

What’s a realistic budget range for this kind of project?

Is it better to work with a freelancer directly or go through an agency?

If you’ve gone through the process, I’d love to hear about:
