About
Hi, I’m Tom Hanlon.
I love writing.
And helping clients conceive and create content that engages, educates, and motivates their audiences.
When my clients are happy, I’m happy.
my experience
I wrote and edited for a publishing company for 14 years before becoming a full-time freelance writer in 2002.
My first ghostwriting project turned into a New York Times bestseller.
My second project was for a CEO who sold 35,000+ copies of the book that I helped conceive and completely wrote.
Since then, I have never looked back.
I write and ghostwrite books, articles, speeches, and columns for clients and build a strong and healthy relationship with them along the way. Genres include memoir, business, education, inspirational, self-improvement, health and fitness, sports and coaching, Christian, and more.
my values
Projects are about more than just getting the work done. They are about meeting people’s needs and treating people appropriately. To that end, I relate to my clients with respect, trust, honesty, and integrity.
my process
I listen closely to my clients.
I communicate clearly through all phases of the project.
I help my clients clarify their message and achieve their goals.
I am skilled at crafting the big picture — shaping a book or product — and at carrying out the fine details.
I produce top quality copy that reflects positively on my clients.
I guide authors through the publishing process as needed — informing them on publishing issues such as: self-publishing vs. traditional publishing, how to contact agents and publishers, how to create marketing and publicity plans for books, and more.
