Jack Roderick

"If you’re looking for a dedicated, thorough, thoughtful and expert editor, you couldn’t do better than to work with Charles."

Roderick was a pioneer oilman and politician in Alaska who earlier in life was a nationally famous college football player.

Project: Crude Dreams, Epicenter Press, 1997.

No Limits, publication pending, 2020.

Collaboration: In the 1990s, Wohlforth helped Roderick develop his now-classic history of oil in Alaska, Crude Dreams. In 2020, Wohlforth edited Roderick’s memoirs.

“Collaborating with Charles was a pleasure. He brought more than his graceful, award-winning writing to the project. He also contributed a keen understanding of the science and the ability to generate new ideas and novel perspectives on our subject. […] Charles is a gifted collaborator and I strongly recommend his partnership to anyone contemplating becoming an author.“

“Charles saw the diamond in the rough and analyzed the material to recommend how he could shape it into a readable narrative… If you’re looking for a dedicated, thorough, thoughtful and expert editor, you couldn’t do better than to work with Charles.”
