Carol Tice โ€“ Ghostwriter

Bestselling business book ghostwriter, author, award-winning journalist, entrepreneur, finance dork, and all-around fun collaborator.

Overview

Ready to stop dreaming and get your world-changing book in your hand this year? If you understand the investment required to work with a pro business book ghost with a track record of leveling-up experts' authority, we are a good fit to work together.

I'm a freelance nonfiction book ghostwriter, bylined author & co-author. Top topics for me include business and personal finance, startups, entrepreneurship, leadership and tax.

With over a dozen ghostwritten titles to date, my biggest hit so far is ๐˜™๐˜ฆ๐˜ต๐˜ช๐˜ณ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฎ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฏ๐˜ต ๐˜”๐˜ฐ๐˜ฏ๐˜ฆ๐˜บ ๐˜š๐˜ฆ๐˜ค๐˜ณ๐˜ฆ๐˜ต๐˜ด by Steve Selengut, which has sold 10,000 copies and spawned a 600-member paid community that generates a $160K/yr income.

I'm focused on creating books that generate solid ROI for you, whether it's in landing a new job, board seats, speaking gigs, coaching/consulting work and more.

My traditional print books include ๐˜๐˜ฐ๐˜ธ ๐˜›๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ๐˜บ ๐˜š๐˜ต๐˜ข๐˜ณ๐˜ต๐˜ฆ๐˜ฅ: ๐˜๐˜ฐ๐˜ธ 25 ๐˜Ž๐˜ฐ๐˜ฐ๐˜ฅ ๐˜๐˜ฅ๐˜ฆ๐˜ข๐˜ด ๐˜‰๐˜ฆ๐˜ค๐˜ข๐˜ฎ๐˜ฆ ๐˜Ž๐˜ณ๐˜ฆ๐˜ข๐˜ต ๐˜Š๐˜ฐ๐˜ฎ๐˜ฑ๐˜ข๐˜ฏ๐˜ช๐˜ฆ๐˜ด [Crimson Business 2012] and ๐˜›๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ ๐˜—๐˜ฐ๐˜ค๐˜ฌ๐˜ฆ๐˜ต ๐˜š๐˜ฎ๐˜ข๐˜ญ๐˜ญ ๐˜‰๐˜ถ๐˜ด๐˜ช๐˜ฏ๐˜ฆ๐˜ด๐˜ด ๐˜–๐˜ธ๐˜ฏ๐˜ฆ๐˜ณ'๐˜ด ๐˜Ž๐˜ถ๐˜ช๐˜ฅ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ต๐˜ฐ ๐˜š๐˜ต๐˜ข๐˜ณ๐˜ต๐˜ช๐˜ฏ๐˜จ ๐˜ ๐˜ฐ๐˜ถ๐˜ณ ๐˜‰๐˜ถ๐˜ด๐˜ช๐˜ฏ๐˜ฆ๐˜ด๐˜ด ๐˜ฐ๐˜ฏ ๐˜ข ๐˜š๐˜ฉ๐˜ฐ๐˜ฆ๐˜ด๐˜ต๐˜ณ๐˜ช๐˜ฏ๐˜จ. [Allworth Press 2013]. I've also authored 14 self-published lead-gen ebooks for an online paid community (built and sold, 2011-21), including ๐˜›๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ ๐˜™๐˜ฆ๐˜ค๐˜ฆ๐˜ด๐˜ด๐˜ช๐˜ฐ๐˜ฏ-๐˜—๐˜ณ๐˜ฐ๐˜ฐ๐˜ง ๐˜๐˜ณ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฆ๐˜ญ๐˜ข๐˜ฏ๐˜ค๐˜ฆ๐˜ณ.

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 marketingโ€“I earned $60K+ from my ebooks, and throw in a free hour of time-saving book marketing tips for my authors.

What clients say:

"Carol is a top shelf business writer. My colleague and I selected her due to her experience and ability to translate sophisticated concepts into a reader-friendly format. Further, she understands business, can work with little guidance, meets deadlines, and provides the panache needed to craft a good story. I highly recommend her."โ€“Ed Barrows, Harvard and DukeCE faculty, Executive Coach, Co-Author: ๐˜›๐˜ธ๐˜ฆ๐˜ญ๐˜ท๐˜ฆ ๐˜š๐˜ฌ๐˜ช๐˜ญ๐˜ญ๐˜ด: ๐˜ต๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ ๐˜จ๐˜ถ๐˜ช๐˜ฅ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ต๐˜ฐ ๐˜ฃ๐˜ฆ๐˜ค๐˜ฐ๐˜ฎ๐˜ช๐˜ฏ๐˜จ ๐˜ข ๐˜ด๐˜ต๐˜ณ๐˜ฐ๐˜ฏ๐˜จ๐˜ฆ๐˜ณ ๐˜ญ๐˜ฆ๐˜ข๐˜ฅ๐˜ฆ๐˜ณ ๐˜ข๐˜ฏ๐˜ฅ ๐˜ข๐˜ค๐˜ค๐˜ฆ๐˜ญ๐˜ฆ๐˜ณ๐˜ข๐˜ต๐˜ช๐˜ฏ๐˜จ ๐˜บ๐˜ฐ๐˜ถ๐˜ณ ๐˜ค๐˜ข๐˜ณ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฆ๐˜ณ.

The reviews emphasize the conversational, Q & A style of the presentation. This was all Carol. So if you've got a new or important idea, something that slaps the face of conventional wisdom, then you "better call Carol".

Work experience

Self-employed

Dec, 2005 โ€” Present
I've ghostwritten more than a dozen titles in the past few years, and published three bylined/co-bylined titles, including one for a division of Shopify. At this point, many of my clients are referrals or are authors returning for a second title with me. I've freelanced for Costco, American Express, Alaska Airlines, Deloitte, Labor Ready, and many more. Publications include Forbes, Entrepreneur, Delta Sky, Seattle Business, the Seattle Times. Not bad for a college dropout, hm? If you're looking for a writer with street smarts, I'm it. I was a staff journalist for 12 years, including 7 for the Puget Sound Business Journal in Seattle. I've interviewed Bezos, Brotman, Nordstrom, Cuban, and many others. Need content around your book launch? I am a proven traffic-driver. Got 2.5 million unique visitors to my Forbes channel with 164 posts and my blog Make a Living Writing hit nearly 1 million annual readers.
