Hi Folks
I am thinking of getting someone (ghost writer) to write a book about myself. I am just an ordinary guy - not famous in any way, but I just want to write my experiences and difficulties that I had growing up. My parents are both immigrants and came to England in the 1960s. I had a very restrictive and harsh upbringing, got bullied at school etc. I hated my childhood.
Do you think it would be a good idea to write my experiences? I will of course change all names and places. The book would be ideally intended for readers whose parents were immigrants or who had a sad/difficult childhood. How would I know that my book will sell or do you think I would be wasting my time?
Thanks in advance for your responses.
Thanks very much for your responses, folks.
Hi Manjinder,
I'd like to say that writing is never a waste of time.You can learn many things by reading and so can your readers.This may influence the reader to read more,and can pass on by eventually finishing the book.
Hi Manjinder,
I'd like to add that writing is both therapeautic and fun especially if you've gone through difficult times. Look at it as a way of dealing with the past, putting it behind you and looking forward to the future.
Good luck!
