Carrie Nyman - Ghostwriter

Telling your story will change your life!

Memoir authors face a unique challenge: they must convey personal stories without experience or knowledge of the publishing industry. They need an advocate with professional-level writing, ghostwriting, editing, and publishing experience. As a ghostwriter with Mark Graham Communications over the past decade, I found that trusting relationships are the heart of effective ghostwriting.

My ghostwriting projects include:
🔷 A First Recon Marine/Field Surgeon’s memoir of the war in Afghanistan, PTSD, and systemic waste in American Healthcare
🔷 A Latinx Stripper’s memoir of alcoholism and sobriety in Las Vegas
🔷 An Indigenous woman’s memoir of meth addiction and mental illness in San Francisco
🔷 A VC’s memoir of Venture Capitalism over 30 years
🔷 A second VC’s business book encouraging women to pursue board positions
🔷 A Chinese-American woman’s memoir of criminal deviance followed by spiritual renewal in solitary confinement
🔷 A memoir about a family’s fight with breast cancer, highlighting responsibility and sisterhood
🔷 My current project is a Veteran's memoir of post-traumatic growth and the search for healthy father figures
🔷 And 10+ novels!

I am dedicated to telling the stories of authentic women with the narrative drive of a novel. As a disabled writer, I specialize in projects centered on transformation, trauma, addiction, motherhood, and sexual assault, in addition to chronic and mental illness.



Testimonials:

When I was introduced to Carrie as a potential ghostwriter, immediately, we clicked. She got me. My voice. My passion. My experiences, even though she herself 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.
