Gina Sorell – Ghostwriter

Acclaimed Author, Copywriter, and Ghostwriter. NYTBR, People, Amazon, Apple, GMA Buzz pick. 20+ years experience in fiction + non-fiction.

Overview

Hello, Writers! 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!


Do you have an idea that you think would make a great novel? Life experience and wisdom that you're moved to share? A personal legacy you wish to leave your family? A business or platform that you would love to publicize and immortalize? If so, we should work together!


As a 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, they include first-time novelists, individuals seeking to record their life stories, dynamic influencers, and multi-hyphenates working at the top of their fields in media and innovation who need an experienced writer to partner with them.


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.


In addition to my warmth, care, and enthusiasm, my strengths lie in my ability to collaborate and brainstorm freely. I honed these skills as a former professional actor, Second City Improviser, and creative freelancer for companies such as Coca-Cola and Starbucks. I love working with clients at all stages, and on many occasions, I've been called "an idea-generating machine," a nickname I'll happily accept!


Writing a book is a lot of work, but together, we can make it an enjoyable and rewarding experience. I'm not just your ghostwriter but your collaborator, guide, and ultimate cheerleader!

Gina was truly a pleasure to work with! She provided me with a positive, insightful edit of my novel in a consultation letter and in markup notes on the manuscript. Specifically, Gina offered valuable feedback addressing my concerns integrating frontstory and backstory, along with character/plot...

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...
