What people are saying ...
““At the OHSU-PSU School of Public Health, we had the pleasure of working with Todd Murphy. Todd did an excellent job writing our school’s website content from scratch. Not only are we impressed with his excellent writing skills, Todd went beyond the writing duties, taking the assignment to the next level as he managed organization of website content and did extensive research on all topics on which he wrote. Our team very much enjoyed working with Todd as he was extremely responsive, collaborative, organized and very pro-active in his approach. We highly recommend Todd Murphy as a writer.””

““Todd is one of the most versatile and expert writers and editors I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with. He has boundless curiosity, which serves him well in interviewing subjects, as well as in turning complex subjects into understandable English. He handled a complex, “moving target” of a project for USAA and coordinated interviews, photographs, found new leads and more. The resulting project delighted the clients and surpassed everyone’s hopes. Todd is dependable, creative, takes direction well and always over-delivers.””
““I have known Todd for years through his work in journalism and at OHSU, and now love having him available as a consultant. He managed a strategic outreach project for the OHSU Foundation in fall 2016 and did a fantastic job — one that required a mix of his writing, public relations and strategic advocacy skills. Most important, he is a delight to work with — engaging with a great sense of humor. I look forward to collaborating on many more projects!””

He challenged me to examine the assumptions I made about a reader’s knowledge, a process that almost always taught me that those assumptions were wrong. He instead urged thorough, concise, no-nonsense writing, all the while knowing the difference between a boring story and a good one.”
