The Ghostwriter Behind 350+ Books Reveals What Most Authors Get Wrong

Tim Cooke has ghostwritten more books than most people have read. In this episode, we go deep into what it really takes to write a powerful book, especially when someone else is holding the pen. From writing encyclopedia articles overnight to becoming one of Scribe’s elite ghostwriters, Tim’s story is a crash course in resilience, reinvention, and relentless craft.

We talk about:

• What makes a great book (and a terrible one)

• The difference between writing and really saying something

• How AI is changing ghostwriting—and why it probably won’t replace Tim

• Why most people underestimate their story

• What makes a great client vs. a walking red flag

• The ethics of staying invisible If you’re thinking about writing a book, or working with a ghostwriter, you need to hear this.

It’s not about having the best idea. It’s about knowing what you want to say, who it’s for, and how to bring it to life.
