The memoir The Woman in Me (roughly translated: The woman in me ) by “pop princess” Britney Spears released at the end of October has created a huge craze. In which the female singer revealed revealed many stories about his heartbreaking past.
At the end of the book, she wrote: “If you follow me on Instagram, you probably think this book will be written with emojis, right?” The reason she said this is because in her social network posts, the female singer often uses a lot of emoticons.
But Britney did not completely hide the fact that there was an anonymous writer (ghost-writer) behind this book. In her thank you note, she sent her thanks to those who helped her, but did not specifically name anyone.
According to two sources close to this project, up to 3 authors contributed together to release The Woman in Me.
One of them is Ada Calhoun, author of five famous non-fiction books. She was responsible for the first draft, before Sam Lansky – former editor of Time magazine and Luke Dempsey – writer and author of a book researching Elvis Presley’s family, “had a hand” in finishing.
Sharing with The New York Times , David Kuhn – CEO of Literary Company Aevitas Creative Management, said that usually famous people will collaborate with established writers when they decide to narrate. my life story.
So the creation of The Woman in Me is similar to the creation of today’s pop hits, which often rely on the collective contributions of many musicians and sound engineers.
According to sources, after the contract to write the memoir was signed, Britney went to Maui (Hawaii) to record details of her past life in a notebook. Then Calhoun appeared, the two of them conducted a series of long interviews together, and then the first draft was released – before Britney married actor and personal trainer Sam Asghari in a ceremony at his home in Los Angeles.
However, Britney thought that the tone of this manuscript was not the same as her own style, so Lansky entered the above process. As a former music editor, he has many advantages to recreate another Britney through words. The two interviewed by phone and Zoom quite a few times, to release the second draft.
In the fall of 2022, Luke Dempsey – editor at Gallery Publishing completed the manuscript, and it was officially released last October.
However, all three individuals refused to answer or comment further when asked about their roles in the memoir The Woman in Me .
Since her debut, Britney Spears has only given one interview to People magazine surrounding this autobiography. “It’s finally my time to speak up, and my fans deserve to hear it firsthand,” the pop princess said. No more conspiracies, no more lies, only I own my past, present and future.”
