Overview
Hi there, aspiring author! I'm a freelance nonfiction book ghostwriter, bylined author & co-author. Topics I've spent years writing about include business finance, startups, entrepreneurship, leadership, legal, retail, e-commerce, and more .
My most recent client is Entrepreneur's books division, where I'm serving as a behind-the-scenes book doctor. 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." Also the author of 14 self-published ebooks, including The Recession-Proof Freelancer.
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 many more.
What's different about me? I built and sold an online business, so I've been an owner, too. So I get business leaders' challenges and mindset like few other writers you'll find.
Contact me for book-ghosting contracts over $25K, and content projects over $1K.

Carol was the best person for our project--she made it a priority to nail down the right voice and tone, and she was very communicative throughout the process.
