This sub-series comprises records of June Callwood's involvement in ghostwriting projects in which publishers employed her to write autobiographies of well-known individuals. The book projects most heavily documented in the series include "A Woman Doctor Looks at Love and Life" (Garden City, NY: Doubleday, 1957) by Dr. Marion Hilliard; "Mayo: The Story of My Family and My Career" (Garden City, NY: Doubleday, 1968) by Dr. Charles W. Mayo; "A Full Life" (Garden City, NY: Doubleday, 1982) by Helen Gahagan Douglas; "Both Sides of the Street: One Man's Life in Business and the Arts in Canada" (Toronto: Macmillan, 1983) by Floyd S. Chalmers; and "Hard Bargains: My Life on the Line" (Toronto: McClelland and Stewart, 1987) by Bob White. For the Mayo book, the series holds an incomplete draft manuscript, research notes, newspaper clippings, and transcriptions of interviews with Dr. C. W. Mayo. There are chapter drafts and newspaper clippings relating to the Dr. Marion Hilliard book. The records pertaining to Douglas's "A Full Life" include a draft of the manuscript, editorial comments, correspondence with the publisher, book reviews, and two audio cassettes holding an interview with Nan Stevens and Melvyn Douglas (dated 11 March 1981) discussing Helen Douglas's life.
Callwood's work on labour leader Robert White's autobiography is documented by correspondence with the publisher, audio recordings and transcripts of interviews with White, records relating to the founding of CAW Canada, successive drafts of the manuscript, and book reviews. In the interviews, White describes his life and experiences in union work for over thirty years, including his terms as president of the United Automobile, Aerospace, and Agricultural Implement Workers of America (UAW), and of CAW Canada, which split from its American parent in June 1986 to form a separate Canadian union. He discusses the formation of CAW Canada, labour disputes and strikes in the automobile industry in the 1960s and 1970s, and the development of the Canadian labour movement in the post-war era. Two of the recordings are proof-reading sessions in which White makes corrections to Callwood's manuscript of "Hard Bargains". There are 23 audio cassettes of interviews with Bob White (accession 1991-0252 MISA).
