Hello!

Is there a place where one could offer stories which would be interesting to write to authors which might be looking for stories?

I have a life story to give and work out but I am no author, but I think it’s worth telling.

Other than straight up paying a ghost writer, are there people interested in doing this?

Thanks

    It’s hard enough to motivate yourself to write when you have a personal connection to a story, so I am dubious that this kind of relationship would be easy to find.

    I would suggest that the best person to write your story is you. Even if you aren’t a skilled writer, your heart and passion will go a long way. And if you are working on a story, then other writers will be much more inclined to help you out if you’re stuck or struggling on a particular part (even if they don’t do the actual writing for you).

    Once you have your draft, then you can enlist the help of an editor to make it flow better.

      Thanks!

      Please see my other answer for a lot more info.

      You’re right only I know my perspective of my life, however I don’t think I can tell a long and complicated story in any coherent way. My brain does not work that way. I think I’d like 4D paper or something.

      (no I don’t think I am great with this, it’s a rather big issue)
