Cassandra is hassled by her friends for sitting with the “wrong” kids at lunch. Jennifer gets harassed because she’s overweight. Dwan’s own family taunts her for not being “black enough.” Yen is teased for being Chinese; Jamel for not smoking marijuana. Yet all find the strength to face their conflicts and the courage to be themselves. In 26 first-person stories, real teens write about their lives with searing honesty. They will inspire young readers to reflect on their own lives, work through their problems, and learn who they really are.
I’m Al Desetta, a full-time memoir ghostwriter. I’ve written memoirs for CEOs, entrepreneurs, doctors, academics, and just about anyone who wants to get their life story told for family, friends, and colleagues.
My book projects have been praised by Hillary Clinton, Jonathan Kozol, Marian Wright Edelman, and Martin Seligman, and profiled by The New York Times, The Daily News, New York Newsday, Ms. Magazine, and NPR’s All Things Considered.
Hemingway once wrote: “Any man’s life, told truly, is a novel.” I’d like to change that quote a bit to say that any person’s life, told truly, is a memoir. You simply need a good writer to help guide you.
Hire me to ghostwrite your memoir and together we’ll create a rich, engrossing tale of survival and triumph. We’ll craft a story of heartache and laughter that your friends and family will cherish. If you want to write a book your readers won’t forget, I’m the person for you.
