For years RNC
was involved with the Religious Tract Society
and its journal, the Girl's Own Paper. She served as a member of the Paper's advisory body, and wrote several short novels for it between 1883 and 1887 that were subsequently released in volume form under the society's imprint. Elaine Hartnell
argues that Carey's work with the Religious Tract Society
was directed towards younger readers, cementing for her a reputation as a safe writer for (presumptively female) youth.

Georgiana
's most famous poem, The Passage of Mount St Gothard or The Passage of the Mountain of Saint Gothard, was written while she was travelling in the Alps in 1792 with Lady Elizabeth Foster. A copy was picked up by the Morning Chronicle, where it appeared, full of misprints, without her consent. The poet dedicated this poem to her children. In 1799 she was circulating it in manuscript, and preparing to illustrate it. It had almost certainly already reached print. The Bodleian
doubtfully assigns a handsome octavo (with the author's name but no publisher identified (Vet. A5d 197 (10)) to 1795.
