Advice From a Professional Author and Ghostwriter

Many of my valued clients who are writing their memoirs ask me if they should seek a literary agent or a publisher. In fact, here’s an actual exchange I had with a valued client:

Client: I need to finish my memoir; I still have a lot more to do and to tie it all together, and then I can get back to you with a finished product. But in your professional opinion, do you think this is worth trying to find an agent / publisher? Will it sell? Thanks!

Thomas Hauck: You’ve got a very good book, and the subject of the Middle East wars is topical. But the question of whether it will sell in any quantity cannot be predicted. Any editor who tells you that you’ve got a sure-fire bestseller is just trying to get your money. Your decision to complete it and publish it, or seek a literary agent, must be yours alone. Remember also that you can self-publish on Createspace for virtually no cost. If you seek my services, I will help you to make your book the very best that it can be, and something you’ll be proud to put your name on. That’s the very best anyone can do.

Sincerely, Thomas.
