Plane Crash Memoir Ghostwriting
Budget: $5,000 – $10,000 USD
I am ready to turn the story of surviving a commercial airplane crash, US Air Flight 405, into an inspirational, full-length memoir and I need a skilled writer to help me shape it. The book will move in strict chronological order—beginning with the moments before take-off, through the crash itself, the immediate aftermath, and the years of change that followed.
My aim is to immerse readers in the experience while highlighting the many lessons the event forced me to learn about life, resilience, and perspective. Expect candid interviews with me, access to my journals, media clippings, and any other material you need; what matters most is that the final manuscript captures both the facts and the emotional journey in a voice that feels authentic and uplifting.
Scope of work and milestones:
• Develop a detailed chapter outline in chronological sequence
• Conduct recorded interviews with me (video or audio—your choice) to capture first-person details and reflections
• Draft, revise, and polish each chapter, weaving in the core “learnings” I want readers to take away
• Prepare a clean, ready-to-query manuscript (approx. 60–75k words, though I’m flexible) including a short author’s note
I welcome your storytelling skills, empathy, and experience with memoirs or trauma narratives. If aviation terminology or safety context is needed, we can source expert commentary together, but the central voice must remain mine.
Confidentiality is essential; please be comfortable signing an NDA. When you reply, share one memoir project you’ve completed that demonstrates your ability to blend factual detail with emotional insight.
