Biography books are known to fall under the genre of creative non-fiction. Actually, this happens to be one of the most popular genres in modern times. It’s also beneficial if you are tiring to do some PR work, this will great things to improve your authority in all the possible ways if you want to make a name for yourself. What is the process of getting an author for writing my biography? There are two ways to get the answer to this question. You can get a writer that has a name on your book as an author or an agency that has many published titles. For Biography:
To be precise, it would be called an autobiography since you will be listed as the author of the book. This is not as uncommon as you might think. It’s actually pretty rare for someone famous to write his own autobiography. This does not mean that it would not be as good, as the quality of the biography depends upon your involvement in the project. Furthermore, it also depends on the ability of the writer to work on it.
How to find them? To be honest, finding an individual writer to work with you is a riskier approach. But, don’t be worried, if you do some research on how to judge a writer, you will probably have no problems. So, you are looking for authors that have some good published titles under their belt. But a big-name author might cost you a lot, and if you are willing to pay, then it's well and good. Although if you have some budget constraints, you should get an agency to work for you.
Pros of getting an agency to write my biography: There are three main advantages for this approach:
•It is much more affordable to get an agency that has written many published books rather than an author that has published titles. •It’s a safer bet since you don’t have to risk getting a mediocre book for a lower price, since they hire good authors. •Their work process is far more efficient since there are multiple professionals overseeing the process.
For Ghostwritten Biography:
If you don’t have much experience with reading and writing books, it is actually preferable to hire a professional ghostwriter to do the work for you. These ghostwriting agencies are more than happy to work with you for a one-time payment. But, having a writer or a co-writer might cost you a royalty fee. And if you are considering having that book published later on, it is strongly recommended that you get a ghostwritten book and its publishing from the same company. Pros of getting a ghostwriter to publish your biography:
There are many advantages to this approach:
•It would be in the agency’s interest to keep the ghostwriting part a tight-lipped secret. (although you don’t have to worry about that if you choose a reputable agency) •It would be much more affordable if you chose a company that gives an all-in-one package for your book writing, editing, and publishing. •The process will be much faster if let the professionals do all the work. Reputable agencies have a more streamlined process of handling the autobiographies since they have already published many books before yours. •Autobiography books are sold more than biography books. You can’t label your biography as an autobiography if someone else writes for you unless you have a ghostwriter working for you. •If your life is especially interesting, you can probably get a ghostwriter for free. Although, this may not be possible for the one-time payment option.
