TestimonialS
“Ginger took time to provide advice and guidance that helped me discover a passion for creating radio content, and reignited my desire to finish my journalism degree.
She armed me with skills that directly led to my employment at the ABC, and her real world knowledge of the industry proved invaluable when I found myself immersed in the daily grind of the media industry.”
– Jamie Cummins, interview producer at ABC TV’s Lateline
“A 75 minute phone session with Ginger Gorman was the best investment I’ve made for my writing all year. I knew I could write – but how to ‘get into’ the world of journalism was intimidating and mysterious. Within about 4 weeks of my mentoring session with Ginger, I received my first commission (and was published) on a large online platform. The session included practical pitching advice, generous sharing of resources, and solid advice on how and where best to connect with writers and editors. Ginger’s well versed in the wider context of the world of Australian journalism, and how to make writing work for you. Tapping into her 20 years experience is frankly worth more than she asks for the session. If you’re a writer who wants to open some doors, media mentoring with Ginger should be your first step.”
