As a key collaborator and partner with Mangus Media Ghostwriting Group, Tim Jacobs specializes in overseeing the publishing process, helping experts transform their knowledge into influential books. He works with business owners, entrepreneurs, speakers, coaches, and spiritual leaders who are looking to establish themselves as authorities in their respective fields.
Tim and his team focus on creating books that actively work for a client’s business. For example, when Chas Wilson, President of Master Networks, wanted to convert his Five Plus One program into a book, Tim’s team adapted the course into a compelling book, expanding Chas’s reach. The result became the foundation for a certified coaching program.
“We have used Tim on multiple occasions to ghostwrite books for us—he does a phenomenal job.” — Michael D. Butler, CEO
