Gina Sorell – Ghostwriter

Ghost Collaborwriter, Author & Copywriter. NYTBR, People, Amazon, Apple & GMA Buzz picks. 20+ yrs in fiction and non-fiction storytelling.

Overview

Do you need a published author to turn your terrific idea into a book? Looking for someone to take your existing project to the next level? I'm back on Reedsy after publishing three books in the last four years, and I'm excited to work with you to bring your stories to life!

For Authors:

As a ghost collaborwriter, we begin where your developmental editor left off. This isn’t editing, it’s collaborative writing. And best of all, it’s anonymous. Whether you’ve outlined a draft or just started jotting down ideas, I help transform your vision into a fully realized manuscript — authentic, engaging, and entirely yours.

For Businesses:

Every brand is built on a story. I’ve helped companies like Coca-Cola, Starbucks, and Disney—as well as start-ups and small businesses—turn ideas into narratives that connect with audiences and strengthen brand identity.

What Sets Me Apart:

Multi-disciplinary experience: Former actor, creative director, and brand storyteller.

Adaptability: Collaboratively shaping your ideas into a compelling narrative.

Improvisational edge: Years of live improv fuel brainstorming, agility, and creativity.

Collaborative spirit: I honor your vision and amplify your strengths.

Proven Successes: Books I’ve collaborated on have been featured by Apple, Amazon, People, Elle, and Nylon, and have appeared on multiple bestseller lists.

Trusted Confidentiality: Discreet and reliable, I value the privacy of every client I work with—whether you’re an author, a CEO, or both.

As a bestselling ghostwriter, I've written novels and inspirational books published by Simon & Schuster and Penguin Random House, which have been featured as top picks for Amazon, Apple, and People Magazine. I specialize in Commercial Fiction, Autofiction, Self-Help, and Inspirational books. Although discretion and NDAs prohibit me from sharing who my clients are, projects include:

*A smart, fun, fast-paced novel about modern work life in the digital age

*An acting guide for teachers and students

*An uplifting, inspirational book for those who dare to dream

I'm also an author working under my own name. My latest novel, The Wise Women (HarperCollins), has appeared on many best-of lists, including the New York Times Book Review Editors' Choice, Good Morning America Buzz Book, and People Magazine Best New Book Pick.

I'm not just your Ghostwriter but your Ghost Collaborwriter. Let's bring your story to life.

Gina is a treasure. Lots of "show don't tell" instruction but with just enough suggestions to actually make that happen. I unequivocally recommend her as a fictional editor. You will be dealing with a careful reader who will point out your novel's strong passages as well as the ones that need sho...
