ENHANCE YOUR LIFE AND CAREER WITH A PROFESSIONALLY WRITTEN MEMOIR

       We disappear into oblivion swiftly unless we leave a permanent record of our life and work. And while few (if any) of us can know exactly what our financial legacy will be, we all can bequeath our life stories and perspectives in an heirloom memoir that enriches and entertains people we care about and serves as a valuable guide.

According to Eugene Muscat, Sr. Associate Dean, Family Business Research Center, University of San Francisco, "You can boost recognition and market share by showcasing the firm's heritage in these ways: (a) publish a company biography and sell or mail it to customers; (b) put the story of the founder, with photos, on brochures and sales material.”

The Society of American Archivists reports that, "Not so long ago, most companies had good corporate memories. Today, most do not. Employees rarely spend their entire careers with one company... New dynamics related to global markets, doing business in diverse cultures and traditions are wealthy, but they can weaken corporate memory, and forgetfulness tempts big risks.”

Whether your memoir focuses on both your personal an professional life or is purely personal or deals exclusively with the history of an independently held company, it influences how you are remembered and ensures that you are not forgotten.

RELY ON RODDICK FOR PROPOSALS, REPORTS, POWERPOINT

       Today it can be more cost effective to assign your proposals, reports, and PowerPoint presentations to a freelance writer than to produce them in-house. When you rely on a me, you not only save money and time but also profit from the professional results.

PROFIT FROM BUSINESS WRITING WORKSHOPS AND COACHING

       I have given the popular "Writing That Means Business Workshops and Coaching Sessions" for professional communicators at American Express, Citibank, Environmental Defense Center, Fireman’s Fund, General Foods, McGraw Hill, Merrill Lynch, Pitney Bowes, Shaklee, Silicon Graphics, Stanford University Alumni Association, The New Yorker, and Xerox.
       Today I continue to offer both on-site and online coaching and editing for people who write on the job.

GET FIRST-RATE HELP WITH MANUSCRIPTS AND BOOK PROPOSALS

       As an experienced nonfiction editor, I specialize in book manuscripts and book proposals. For example, I've worked with Wess Roberts, author of Leadership Secrets of Attila the Hun and other business books. And I've helped a number of authors produce book proposals that led to published work.
