Introducing Special Characters

A ghostwriting shop for founders and the C-suite

Hi, I’m Tom, the founder of Special Characters - a ghostwriting shop helping company founders and leaders own their narrative, manage reputation and navigate growth and change.

Everything is story in today’s world and owning your narrative as a founder or leader is essential. As both a founder and former Chief of Staff myself, I have experienced first-hand the non-linear, minute-by-minute, slings-and-arrows-life of the C-suite and know how crucial it is to communicate your story with clarity, conviction and consistency.

Founders and leaders are singular, and in a world of AI-generated copy, declining trust and information overload, I believe there’s tremendous power - and value - in company principals going direct to their audience with their story.

Done right, few initiatives offer the ROI of telling your own story, but it’s something, like therapy, you can’t always do yourself.

That’s why after 20 years as a writer working at the intersection of business, technology and entertainment, I established Special Characters to help founders and leaders who have compelling stories to tell but not the time, bandwidth or writing knowhow to tell them.

If you’re a Special Character, drop me a line.

Tom
