I wasn't sure where to post this question, so I'll jump in here.
I've been contacted by an elderly gentleman who has an interesting background. Through a series of fascinating events, he ended up serving first in the German army during WWII, and for the remainder of the war in the US Army.
He has contacted me because of his interest in having this memoir ghostwritten.
This genre is completely new to me. Ironically, I've also been contacted by someone known in the public speaking realm regarding ghostwriting a non-fiction spiritual/inspirational non-fiction book.
I recently finished ghostwriting a novel, which is currently under consideration by an agency, but the non-fiction genre - specifically with such an historical slant as the WWII memoir - is new territory.
Where would I start researching the market potential for such a unique WWII-inspired memoir? Or, is this not unique and I simply haven't been successful finding similar stories via Google?
If this is indeed unique, perhaps contacting the History Channel or similar print publication is a good place to start?
This site and the members are brilliant, and I am so grateful Absolute Write exists.
Many thanks in advance for any thoughts and suggestions.
