Born in Lansing, Michigan Ginger Marks moved to the Tampa Bay Area of Florida in 1978. She began her career as a business owner in partnership with the medical profession. Marks owned and operated a multi-million-dollar surgical facility for 23 years with her late husband. After his passing, Ginger’s drive to succeed led her to become a Financial Advisor while working on the side, for her own purposes, in the field of design with the founding of Graph Inc., which eventually became DocUmeant Designs.

Her love for writing and design has been the catalyst for her successful career in the publishing area. Coming from a family of published authors and speakers, it was no surprise when she, herself, embarked on the writing journey.

Ginger enjoys sharing from her vast expertise as a published author and business owner. She is an Expert Author for EzineAuthors and Huffington Post article writer. Marks enjoys giving back to her community and in doing so has been the Design VP with Florida Authors and Publishers Association (FAPA) from 2013–2021.

Mrs. Marks has won numerous awards for her writing and designs. DocUmeant Designs is listed on DesignFirms.org and is in the top tier design firm out of over 20,000 design firms in the US. In 2016, she was awarded the Golden Mouse Award as the Publishing Leader of the Year by WECAI.org and in 2020 FAPA honored her with the coveted FAPA Founder’s Award and was elected as FAPA president in 2024. She pens a monthly ezine titled, Words of Wisdom which she invites you to register to receive and can be found at DocUmeantPublishing.com and her sister company DocUmeanDesigns.com.
