Carole was credited as co-author on her brother John's memoir and autobiography, Anything Goes, which was published in 2008 by Michael O'Mara Books.[3] Part of the writing process involved her transcribing her brother's dictations.[4] In 2009, Barrowman published I Am What I Am, also featuring Carole as co-author.[5] In addition to John's memoirs, John and Carole also co-wrote a Torchwood comic strip, featuring Jack Harkness, entitled Captain Jack and the Selkie.[6] Carole and John's debut novel, titled Hollow Earth, was published in February 2012.[7] In researching the novel, Carole traveled to the west coast of Scotland to visit some of the locations which she and John chose to feature in the book.[8]

In addition to her published collaborations, Carole Barrowman also contributed an essay about her brother John to the Hugo award winning[9] non-fiction anthology Chicks Dig Timelords.[10]
