Ghostwriter and Story Surrogate

— here to carry your story with care and craft it into something powerful

Memoir ghostwriting for women who’ve lived through transformation and are ready to share it with depth, clarity, and heart.💫

For Women Who’ve Grown Through It

This Is for You If…

  • You’ve gone through a life-altering transformation and feel called to share what you’ve learned.

  • You’re a businesswoman, founder, or creative ready to deepen your connection with your audience.

  • You’ve helped others — and now it’s time to give voice to your own story.

  • You’ve wondered if your story is “enough” to become a book. (Spoiler: it is.)

You don’t have to wait until the end of your journey to write your memoir.
You just need a story that moved you — and a desire to move others.

Hey! I’m Marcela Kinikia -

I’m a ghostwriter who specializes in soulful memoirs for women who’ve lived through something life-shifting — and want to share that story in a way that inspires and connects.

With a background in poetry and a heart wired for empathy (hello, Enneagram 2!), I have a gift for helping women uncover the deeper meaning in their story and express it with authenticity and power.

My writing style is reflective, clear, and emotionally resonant — always grounded in your voice and message.

My clients are often businesswomen, coaches, or creatives who have overcome something personal and want to uplift others, deepen their legacy, or grow their brand through storytelling.

If you’ve ever wondered, “Do I have enough to say?” or “Is now the right time to tell my story?” — the answer is yes. I’ll help you shape it, honor it, and write it beautifully.

“I have actually, but I've never really gotten around to it because first of all I'm not a writer, (but) I feel like I have a lot of inspirational things to talk about.”

- Viktoria, when asked if she’s considered writing a book before

“This is awesome. I'm excited by it and I mean even after this conversation it has me thinking about how to approach it. And I thank you and I appreciate you showing me how we could really make this happen.”

- Amy, after going through The Nonfiction Book Planning Guide
