About Me
If you look me up in the Library of Congress catalog, you’ll find 170 books I’ve written. If you know where to look for my various aliases, you’ll find nearly 200 more. Plus another 30 books I’ve ghostwritten, but clearly those are credited to the authors who created them.
I live in London with my family, who think the authors I write with all sound a lot more interesting than me.
What DO YOU WANT YOUR BOOK TO ACHIEVE?

• To position yourself for a career change
• To make sure your story is not forgotten
• To leave a legacy for your family and friends
i’VE HELPED AUTHORS ACHIEVE ALL THOSE AMBITIONS, I CAN HELP YOU TOO.
By the way…
The worst reason to write a book is to try to get to #1 in the bestsellers list. If that’s your goal, think again. It’s not going to happen. Unless you’ve got a great idea for a story about the schooldays of a boy wizard and his friends … Oh, hang on…

“Tim was a true partner throughout the entire writing process. He helped me define the key areas I wanted to get across to the readers, better defined the flow of those ideas, and then did a great job helping me more clearly articulate those thoughts and bring them to life. I truly enjoyed my conversations with Tim as he made the book writing process very enjoyable and one I will never forget!”
— Tom Caporaso, author of second-Chance CEO
“As an author of six business books, including Vivid Vision, I can say Tim is easily the best writer I’ve ever worked with. His excitement about my project The Second In Command, his level of detail, his deep questions for me during the process, and his really caring about me writing a great book took this project to the next level. It’s by far the best book and most important one I’ve ever written.”
– Cameron Herold, Author of The Second In Command, Vivid Vision, Miracle Morning For Entrepreneurs, and three more
“Tim has done a brilliant job translating our ideas and stories into a logical, stimulating book. The job of writing a book is a daunting task made much easier with the guidance of a seasoned professional. Thanks Tim!”
— Brad Zimmerman, author of The Great Re-Engagement
“Tim Cooke exceeded all of my expectations. I am a lifetime writer, but this was my first book and translating my voice into this format required strong partnership with a veteran expert. Tim took the time to get to know my voice and tone, then worked tirelessly with me in writing each chapter over and over until I loved it. He struck just the right balance between honoring my words and re-writing to add more punch and flow. Tim is an incredible writer - I was in awe of his ability to transform my ideas on a daily basis - he truly has a divine gift! Working with Tim made me a better writer, as I learned so much from him throughout the process. Always cheerful, always insightful, always patient, Tim is a beautiful human which makes working with him a joy. I truly could not have published the book I did without him, and I wouldn’t have had nearly as much fun working with anyone else. Work with Tim if you have the opportunity!”
— AnneMarie Hayek, author of Generation We: The Power and Promise of Gen Z
“I had the pleasure working with Tim in 2020 and found him to be a delightful partner. He was intuitive, flexible, humorous, fun and a great listener. He was willing to follow my processes (which were quite out of the norm) understood exactly the end product I was looking for, and helped me keep my voice consistent the entire book. Tim was a partner who from day one let me take the lead but knew when to push, when to tell me we needed more stories to bring my ideas to life and when it was – as he put it – bloody great! When I was considering my 2nd book there was only one way I would even contemplate undertaking that challenge and that was with Tim by my side. He is a gem. He is not only great at what he does, but he is also a lovely human and becomes a dear friend. Anyone would be lucky to have him support them in their efforts to bring their thoughts, ideas and words to life.”
— Kris Holmes, author of Ignite Your Career: Strategies and Tactics to Unlock Your Potential
“Collaborating with writer extraordinaire Tim on my life memoirs was effortless, seamless, and a pure joy. Every session was like talking to an old friend who gave me the confidence to delve deep. That led me to completely entrust my life story to a consummate pro who made every session easy, productive and fulfilling. The journey through the writing process is one of the most priceless experiences of my life. At the end, not only did Tim craft my story into a compelling narrative. He also gave me an outlet to download 60+ years into a commercial, but passionate and focused, story that communicated everything that really mattered to me. The result is a definitive account that I am proud of. Tim is an intelligent and thoughtful creative who made writing a book a breeze. I grew to love his wit, charm, and ability to fully grasp my details and to transpose these moments in time into a masterpiece. He is a master storyteller!"
