Ginger Doyel is a fourth-generation Annapolitan. She received a B.A. in Leadership Studies from the University of Richmond in 2001, graduating first in her class from the University's Jepson School of Leadership Studies that year. While at Richmond, she also founded and captained the University's first women's golf team.

Upon graduating, Ginger served as a Research Fellow for the Pew Partnership for Civic Change in Charlottesville, Virginia. While in Charlottesville, she also founded the business Art Fore Golfers, and in doing so, created original golf art for clients along the East Coast.

In 2002, Ginger returned to Annapolis and became an author and publisher. She has written several books, including Annapolis Vignettes, Gone to Market: The Annapolis Market House, 1698-2005, The Annapolitan Club: A Tradition of Hospitality Since 1897, and Over the Bridge: A History of Eastport at Annapolis. In addition, she has illustrated seven books. In the summer of 2009, Ginger traveled to Israel and Palestine for six months to gather background information for two books: a volume that puts Tomorrow's Youth Organization's work into a global context and a collection of her illustrations of the region. She has also contributed to The Capital newspaper (her history column won several Historic Annapolis Foundation Preservation Awards) and several magazines. Articles about her work have appeared in the Washington Post, the Baltimore Sun, and Chesapeake Life magazine. In January 2011, Ginger moved to Carmel, CA, where she is supremely happy.
