Well, it can be a bit of a grey area. On one hand, if it's for a legitimate business need like getting a professional writer to create a story for a commercial project, it might be seen as okay. But if it's to pass off as your own work in an academic or personal creative context, that's unethical.
It really varies. It could be as little as $20 if you find a new writer on a freelance platform who is just starting out and is willing to write a very short, simple story. But if you want a more experienced writer with a good reputation to write a high - quality, longer short story, it could cost $100 or more.
Well, one way is to clearly communicate your vision and the key elements you want in the story. Also, maybe offer some incentives or rewards to make it more appealing for them.
You might try reaching out to professional writers or memoirists and explain why your life story is unique and engaging. Offer them the opportunity to shape it into a captivating narrative and potentially provide some incentives or compensation for their work.
One way is to reach out to local writing groups or associations. They might be able to recommend someone who specializes in life story writing. You can also check freelancing platforms, but make sure to review the writers' portfolios and client feedback.
If I had to write a book that was neither an autobiography nor someone else's biography, I would choose to write a novel about human nature and human emotions. Such a novel could explore the feelings and desires deep in the human heart and their performance and influence in different situations. Such novels could also enlighten people on how to better understand and deal with their emotional relationships with others, so that people would care more about and respect the feelings of others.
To write your story in a book, begin by doing some research if needed. Develop interesting characters and a compelling plot. Also, pay attention to the language and style to make it enjoyable for readers. And don't forget to revise and edit your work to improve it.
