i think i found me a writer just talked to her and victoria said it would be a bad idea to spend that much money on a writer and yes i do think it would be an interesting enough story because people have been telling me it is a good story once i told them the whole thing what happened and this is real what goes on in life in some school systems death is not something to play with
(Please note that I am the co-ghostwriter of a miz-lit (misery literature) memoir that's done really well in both the UK and the international markets, so I have verifiable experience in this area.)
First of all, just because someone tells you your story is
interesting (and I have no doubt that it really is) doesn't mean it's
marketable. The miz-lit market is currently over-saturated and on a down-swing and extremely difficult to break in to. It can be done, but the story has to be remarkably extraordinary.
Have you done the research to know whether there is demand for stories like yours? (Again,
demand is what publishers are looking for, not simply
interesting.) How many miz-lit memoirs have you read? How many miz-lit memoirs in the subject area of bullying have you read? Do you have a compelling '
unique selling point' that makes your story stand head and shoulders above the bullying miz-lit memoirs that are already out there?
If you've done this research and know that you have something extraordinary and unique on your hands, you can proceed with great caution.
If you haven't done this research, you need to stop looking for a writer and start reading every miz-lit memoir you can get your hands on before going any further.
Please don't think I'm being dismissive of your life story. I'm sure you have very interesting things to say. But right now, we're talking about the business of selling a life story, which is very distinct from the living of a life story. It is often hard for memoirists to separate discussion of business from the discussion of life.
