Carol Tice – Ghostwriter

Hi there, aspiring author! I'm a freelance nonfiction book ghostwriter, bylined author & co-author. Topics I've spent many years writing about include business and personal finance, startups, entrepreneurship, leadership, legal, retail, e-commerce, and more.

My traditional print books include How They Started: How 25 Good Ideas Became Great Companies [Crimson Business 2012] --this one started out as a ghostwriting gig, but they ended up giving me a byline!--and The Pocket Small Business Owner's Guide to Starting Your Business on a Shoestring. [Allworth Press 2013]. Also the author of 14 self-published ebooks I created as lead-gen for my online paid-community, courses, and coaching business (built and sold, 2010-21), including The Recession-Proof Freelancer.

That's right, I'm that rare business book ghostwriter who's also been a business owner. So I get it. And also get book marketing–I earned $60K+ from my ebooks, and throw in a free hour of book-marketing tips for my authors. I can save you some time there, on book marketing strategies that work and don't.

What clients say:

"Carol is a top shelf business writer. My colleague and I selected her due to her experience and, more importantly, ability to translate sophisticated concepts into a reader friendly format. She exceeded those expectations. Further, she understands business, is adept at working with little guidance, meets deadlines effectively, and provides the panache needed to craft a good story. I highly recommend her."–Ed Barrows, Harvard and DukeCE faculty, Executive Coach, Co-Author: Twelve Skills: the guide to becoming a stronger leader and accelerating your career

"Carol has been a great ebook writer. I couldn't have asked for better quality, turnaround times, and attitude. What a great writer to have on your projects!"–Dan Virgillito, former international content lead, Shopify

"Carol is a pro at ghostwriting and a pleasure to collaborate with. Not only does she write well and fast, she's also wise, supportive, funny, and all-around delightful. I feel very lucky to have found her and would highly recommend her to anyone seeking to write a business book."–Eric Rosenfeld, Founder, Oregon Venture Fund

I put in 12 years as a staff journalist at two business publications, filing 3-4 stories a week. If you need an accomplished business storyteller who can work fast, let's talk! I've freelanced for Forbes, Entrepreneur, Seattle Business, Costco, American Express, Deloitte, and more.

Contact me for full-length book-ghosting contracts over $50K (less for shorter books, of course). I offer authors who contact me through Reedsy a free, no-obligation Zoom call–let's discuss your book!
