Carrie Nyman – Ghostwriter

Crafting True Stories of Transformation, Trauma, Survival, Chronic Pain/Illness, and Healing

I’m passionate about helping authentic individuals publish memoirs with the narrative drive of a novel. During nine years of ghostwriting at a professional agency, I discovered that trusting relationships are crucial for effective collaboration. Now, as a disabled author and mother, I offer the creativity, experience, and emotional intelligence to guide you through the memoir process.

The Ghostwriting Journey:

To capture your voice, I will begin as your audience. After conducting video interviews for a comprehensive understanding of your story, I’ll research, organize, and outline your manuscript. Together, we’ll illustrate scenes from your memory to create a disarming hook and dynamic narrative chapters. Your memoir will be readable, relatable, and clear! Finally, I can prepare a Book Proposal and coach you to think like an author. While I respect my clients’ privacy with NDAs, they consistently express satisfaction and emotional catharsis in our partnership.

My writing career began with an English Literature degree and a best-selling WWII historical novel. Once my work was traditionally published in 2012, a ghostwriting agent recruited me for many successful fiction and nonfiction projects, but real stories are my favorite! If you’re searching for a full-service ghostwriter, I can polish your manuscript to ensure resonance with readers and publishers. For your next step, please contact me for a consultation call to discuss your goals! Telling your story will change your life—I can't wait to hear it.

Testimonials:

When I was introduced to Carrie as a potential ghostwriter, we immediately clicked. She got me. My voice. My passion. My experiences, even though she had never lived them. I am so grateful to Carrie for helping me find my voice and help guide me through a very emotional experience. I cannot speak highly enough of Carrie, not only of her skill as a writer but also as a human, and a compassionate one at that.

Carrie’s impeccable writing and editing skills, combined with her ability to listen, make her a well-rounded professional ghostwriter. I had a wonderful experience working with her.
