Carrie Nyman – Ghostwriter

| Crafting True Stories of Transformation, Trauma, Addiction, Survival, Chronic Illness, and Healing

Memoir writers face a unique problem: they must navigate the writing and publishing worlds without prior knowledge or experience in the industry. I’m passionate about helping authentic individuals publish their memoirs with the narrative drive of a novel. In nine years at a professional ghostwriting agency, I discovered how 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 memoir. Together, we’ll illustrate scenes from your memory to create a disarming introduction and rich narrative chapters. Your manuscript will be readable, relatable, and clear! Finally, I can prepare a Book Proposal and coach you to think like an author pursuing publication. While I respect my clients' privacy with NDAs, they consistently express satisfaction and emotional catharsis in working with me.

My writing career started with an English Literature degree and a best-selling WWII historical novel. Once I was traditionally published in 2012, a ghostwriting agent recruited me for many successful fiction and nonfiction projects. While I love novels, real stories are my favorite! Whether you’re searching for a full-service ghostwriter or a skilled content editor, I can polish your manuscript to ensure your memoir’s resonance with readers and publishers. For your next step, please get in touch with 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, and 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.

—Brenna Kean, Author of BABY GOAT RISING (2022)

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.
