What I Do for ClientsI research, write, edit, and teach
communications. Among the projects I've done are articles, speeches, white
papers, books, seminar presentations, distance-learning courses, workshop
guidebooks, websites, sales materials, advertising, business proposals, grant
applications, software user guides, catalogs, technical manuals, job-hunting
portfolios, and translations into/from English, French, and German. I am also a teacher of professional and
technical writing at the University
of South Florida. My clients include professional service
firms, management consultants, industrial companies, publishers, nonprofit
groups, and individual business professionals. I have served such well-known firms as
Accenture (formerly Andersen Consulting), Cap Gemini Ernst & Young,
Computer Sciences Corporation, Deloitte Consulting, The Grove Consultants
International, InterSyte, Mercer Management Consulting, and
PricewaterhouseCoopers. Please see my Credentials
and Background for more
details. In addition to writing, editing, and
research, I act as a catalyst and sounding board to help clients think and
express themselves more effectively. As an experienced business professional
with no turf or ideology to defend, I offer a mature and dispassionate -- yet
creative -- viewpoint on both what to say and how to say it. History of My One-Man VentureMy freelance practice began in 1987 when
I left my position as Director of Communications at a management consulting
firm in Cleveland, Ohio. However, my experience with business goes back to
1975, when I co-founded Hower, Roberts and Thornton Communications Services
with graduate-school colleagues in Kent, Ohio. I began my professional life as a
college teacher of writing and literature, and I continue to teach as a
full-time resident faculty member at the University
of South Florida in
Sarasota, Florida. I enjoy sharing my experience and knowledge with students
preparing for careers in business management and technical and professional
writing. My teaching position also gives me a good opportunity to stay
current on trends in communications technology. I have been a member of the Society for Technical Communication (STC) for
several years. Contact Me To Discuss Your ProjectI work out of a well-equipped office at
home in Sarasota, on the sunny Gulf Coast of Florida. Using fast broadband
and overnight couriers, I serve clients around the world. I will be pleased to talk with you about
your project without obligation. If there's a good fit between your needs and
my capabilities, I'll prepare a brief proposal stating deliverables,
deadlines, and fees. Thorold (Tod) Roberts / Founder, Owner, and Chief Custodian
