Memoir Ghostwriting for Professional Athletes

Charlottesville, VA Virginia, Maryland, Washington D.C. USA Memoir Book Ghostwriting 

While the concept of ghostwriting isn't new, its prevalence in the sports world is particularly pronounced. Athletes, often juggling rigorous training schedules, demanding competitions, and media appearances, rarely have the time or, sometimes, the inclination, to pen their own stories. This is where the ghostwriter steps in, acting as both scribe and storyteller.   Enter the ghostwriting experience of J. Stewart Dixon and Book Done For You. 

This isn’t a vanity project:

You wish to write a book that others enjoy, recommend and positively and enthusiastically review––with nothing less than five stars. You wish to write a book that is the real deal––not just a laundry list of your accomplishments. A book that is engaging, fun, inspiring, cathartic, emotional and entertaining––all rolled into one. You want it to change lives, inspire peers, win awards and sell thousands of copies.  Right? Yes?  >>> Hell yes!

Which sports you ask?: Basketball, Football, Baseball, Soccer, Tennis, Golf, Olympic Athletes, Weight Training, Rugby, Fly Fishing, Tournament Bass Fishing- ALL of THEM.  But how can you be an expert in all sports? We're not. You're the expert in your sport. We're the expert at researching, crafting, editing and ghostwriting - your story.

Book Done For You owner, J. Stewart Dixon is...

a multi-award-winning, Amazon best-selling memoir author, writer and editor. He has a degree in media communications (1991) from the S.I. Newhouse School of Communications at Syracuse University. He brings a considerable amount of expertise, creativity and craft to the table for your memoir book. 

Yes, even sports memoirs need to have dramatic story structure and narrative. Without the story element your memoir risks being a boring laundry list of things you did, people you met and problems you encountered. (Good––but not good enough for a book.)

You might have gone through hell or high water to achieve success (or failure). You might have come close to losing everything a hundred times, but persevered. You might have a hundred different stories or experiences to share, from decades in the business. ALL of this is excellent, beautiful and awesome, BUT… But as far as your book is concerned, if you don't have that dramatic story structure as the foundation, your efforts to promote and sell it are doomed. Without dramatic narrative, your intended book goals will fail. 

I’ve written, rewritten, developed and edited a large number of memoirs. Most of them suffer from two basic problems: 1. The author isn’t courageous enough to reveal the full emotional content and impact of their experiences or stories. 2. The story has no dramatic arc to it. No hero. No struggle and final triumph. No – “Holy shit!  What’s going to happen to this guy next!?” – moments. Most novice, inexperienced memoir writers make this vital mistake––of writing a boring laundry list of “stuff.”   This won't happen if J. Stewart Dixon ghostwrites your book.  You won't just be the wizened expert- you'll be the hero.
