Praise from my Ghostwriting Clients

A fantastic partner, leading to a best seller

RYAN BARRY, President at Zappi Consumer Insights

Ginny was a fantastic partner in bringing our story to life, leading to a best seller within 3 days and also a significant elevation in our brand overall.

My 55,000 word book was written in 6 months and I am so happy with it

Working with Ginny has been a fantastic experience. If you are looking for a ghostwriter who ‘gets’ your voice, shares your enthusiasm for your book, and offers great professional expertise and advice about the whole process, then Ginny is who you should contact. I chose Ginny as she was recommended by a publisher I know and trust. I was very...

I’m mighty impressed and am hoping to do a lot more work with Ginny in the future

Sue Richardson, Publisher at Sue Richardson Associates

It’s been a huge pleasure to work with Ginny on my client’s book. As a publisher, knowing we have a writer who will deliver great quality work, on time and within budget is a massive benefit, and Ginny has ticked all these boxes. However, it was Ginny’s author care that put the icing on the cake. From the start she...

She delivered my manuscript in a timescale I could never have done myself

Working with Ginny was exciting, challenging and fun

MARTIN BAKER

Working with Ginny was exactly what it needed to be – exciting, challenging and fun. My co-author and I had been working on the book idea for several years and had all sorts of mind maps and background material, but we lacked the discipline, skills and experience to make it happen. Enter Ginny! Her time-bound, structured approach made us find the...

I’ve loved working with Ginny

ALICE SHELDON

Ginny has brought such consummate skill to the table. She’s been able to grasp my subject with extraordinary ease and thoroughness, and then to tell it in a way which consistently makes readers talk about the book in glowing terms. It’s felt like a true partnership, and Ginny’s experience has shone through at every point. She’s been equally willing to...

An outstanding ghostwriter

MICHAEL BUCKWORTH

Ginny is an outstanding ghostwriter with impeccable editorial skills. I have trusted her with my first book spanning a wide range of business and legal topics, and have been thrilled with the results.

I’m thrilled with the book and loved working with Ginny

ANDY BROWN, leadership coach and non-exec director

I had a book ‘on the shelf’ for two years, and it would have stayed there without Ginny. It became apparent that I’d need a partner if I was to finish the book. I researched a great many writers, and everything kept pointing back to Ginny. She supplied the structure and a degree of rigour that meant things got moving....

Incredibly effective and trustworthy and able to capture the voice of her clients

ROBERT SMITH, Literary Agent

Ginny is a consummate ghostwriter, especially on business-related books. She is sensitive to her clients’ needs and to the content they want to convey. She’s incredibly effective and trustworthy, yet is able to capture the voice of her clients, and, better still, be creative in making excellent suggestions for how to develop and improve their manuscripts. In short, Ginny is...

She got me straight away and interpreted my story with accuracy and passion

FHK, Ghostwriting Client

I really didn’t know what to expect as this was my first book. I was excited but also full of apprehension. I know what I want to say but I’m not the most eloquent at migrating my verbal story into written work, I find this really challenging. Ginny made the whole process easy, she got me straight away and interpreted...

My book helped me to win my dream role

AN, Ghostwriting Client

My goal was to showcase my expertise in a book so that I could further my career in my chosen field. I would never have had the time to write it myself, but with Ginny’s writing skills and my hard work and organisation I had a book published in under a year. Three months after it was published I’d already...

She ‘got’ what I wanted and had the writing expertise I was after

RR, Ghostwriting Client

I wanted a book to capitalise on my appearance in a TV show, so I could promote my expertise in a particular area of my work. This was really important to me, as I was starting to build my professional reputation as an effective and caring therapist at a national level. Although I’m ok with writing, I don’t have much...

Totally appropriate for the people to whom it was aimed

Literary Agent

Congratulations – I found it lucid, assured, easy to read and easy to understand. It seems very logical in its approach. Also the tone is reassuringly positive. It is caring in a gentle, almost hand holding way, which feels totally appropriate for the people to whom it aimed. Above all it feels accessible and effective.

Very professional and clearly cared about the outcome as much as I did

MH, Ghostwriting Client

I knew I had a book ‘in me’, but I struggled to get it ‘out of me’. I had issues with structure, but more importantly I found the process of writing every day hard to fit around running a business, speaking at events, walking the dog etc! That’s why I sought out a ghostwriter. My main concern was that my...

She crafted a manuscript that gave our part-formed thoughts and ideas shape

JH, Ghostwriting Client

Ginny’s background in marketing meant she understood the audience we wanted to talk to and was able to define a strategy for our book that would meet our objectives. She crafted a manuscript that gave our part-formed thoughts and ideas shape, in an informal and engaging style. Ginny’s common-sense publishing experience and professionalism also gave our project the discipline it...

Excellent at structuring your ideas so that they’ll be easily digested by your audience

Una Doyle, Business Development Coach at Creative Flow

As a Business Development Coach and Actress I’m pretty creative myself, however if we don’t delegate and outsource some things then we end up with way too much to do! So I asked Ginny to write an ebook for me to use as part of my lead generation and I am extremely happy with it. She took the ideas and...

She offered a ‘can do’ common sense approach to developing long form content

Ghostwriting Client

We selected Ginny Carter to ghostwrite our book because we liked the voice of her blog about writing. The ideas she presented there offered a ‘can do’ common sense approach to developing long form content. Ginny is a great ghostwriter. She will get the words on the page on deadline, push you to really think about which ideas you want...

Praise from my Coaching Clients

Smart, funny, articulate, and highly knowledgeable about the business book industry

Moira Somers, Speaker

[toggle title=”Read Testimonial”]Ginny Carter is an absolute dream to work with. She is smart, funny, articulate, and highly knowledgeable about the business book industry at all levels. Other book coaching programmes rely on pre-recorded calls and transcripts of answers to other clients’ questions, or interviews with people who have nothing to do with what you need. Ginny’s offerings are in an entirely different class. Her coaching is personalized to the highest degree. She is structured, not rigid; firm about accountability, but flexible when life gets in the way of things; thorough but not obsessive. She is a marvellous, magical fusion of editor, cheerleader, mid-wife, and teacher. If you want to bring your work into the world on time and on budget, then Ginny Carter’s coaching is for you.

Ginny was the perfect coach

Neil Bentley

I knew that making the shift from writing short opinion pieces to a full book would be a big step, and that I would benefit from some advice on style and structure that would work best. At the same time, I wanted the book to be my own efforts. Written by me, in my voice. Ginny was the perfect coach:...

Totally invested in making my book a success

Lucy Adams

I have worked with Ginny on two previous books so it was a no-brainer to return to her for guidance. This time we worked differently, with me doing the writing rather than just giving Ginny the ideas and structure. To be honest, I wasn’t sure whether there would be significant value over and above what Chat GPT could give me...

A wonderful eye for language and communication

Catherine Foot, Director of Standard Life Centre for the Future of Retirement and Commissioner at the Financial Inclusion Commission

I have benefited a huge amount from Ginny’s coaching. I feel like I have graduated from aspiring writer to actual writer with her support, something I’m not sure I would have ever pulled off without her. She has a wonderful eye for language and communication, from individual sentences to whole chapters and the whole message of what I am writing....

I learned a lot from her on how to structure a book, especially how to open and close a chapter

Azran Osman-Rani, Speaker and Entrepreneur

I simply could not have completed my book in one year without Ginny’s expert guidance and the structure that she put into the process. Ginny was there to keep me accountable to deadlines, push me through mental blocks, and was generous with her encouraging comments. I found it incredibly useful to get her feedback, and she helped me gauge which...

Ginny has been an integral part of me getting to this stage, helping keep me focused and on track

Lindy Irving, the Superhero Coach

I contacted Ginny after reading many of her blogs and articles on LinkedIn about how to write a book. I had been planning on writing my book for the previous 2 years but but hadn’t even got started. 10 months later and I have a first draft! Ginny has been an integral part of me getting to this stage. She...

As a writing coach Ginny is warm, supportive and encouraging. I am grateful for the help she gave me

Maureen Sharphouse, Coach and Speaker

I had already started writing my book when I first approached Ginny. I had worked on it for six months and it hadn’t felt right so I had taken the brave step to scrap what I had done and start all over again. Ginny was a great sounding board and listened to me well. Although I knew Ginny was a...

She gave me guidance on how to make it a compelling read, and easy to consume

Martin Thompson, Speaker and Entrepreneur

I wouldn’t say I had writers’ block so much as execution block. How do I turn a bunch of notes, ideas, napkin scribbles and enthusiasm for a subject into a book? A book that can educate and hopefully entertain. Ginny got me unstuck. She gave me guidance on how to make it a compelling read, and easy to consume. Then...

I found the whole process empowering

Eddie Bannon

Working with Ginny meant I had a draft of my book within six months of starting, even though I had never attempted to write anything remotely similar before. Her very clear explanation of how to structure a chapter saved this project from being a bloated, boring and self-indulgent manuscript, that would take a massive editing intervention to save. The real-time...

Ginny helped me to get really clear on how I could turn this into a winning book

Penny Haslam, Professional Speaker at Penny Haslam Ltd

The VIP Intensive session I had with Ginny gave me so much clarity. Together we crystallised what my book is going to be about, and who it is to be written for. I have a passion for my subject, and Ginny helped me to get really clear on how I could turn this into a winning book. As a result...

I have so much more confidence in getting on with it now

Patrick Smith, Joshua PR

Excellent, excellent, excellent Get Your Book Started Fast session with Ginny. By the end, my biggest realisation was that I’ve got many more business insights that I had initially realised, and that my book should be structured to reflect that. I have so much more confidence in getting on with it now. Before, I felt there was ‘something’ in it,...
