TESTIMONIALS
what clients of sammavaca wordworks have to say...
Michelle Markey Butler & Anne Brannen of the True Crime Medieval podcast
"This accurate, timely transcription service has proven invaluable for our podcast. Not just for listeners to have another way to access our material--and of course for the hearing impaired to access it at all---but for us as well. I have found reading our podcasts to be instructive, pointing out verbal tics to eliminate and crutch words to avoid." - Michelle
"Laurie's transcriptions are a crucial part of the podcast. The transcriptions make the podcast accessible, cause our conversation to show up in Google searches, and make the information easily found, as when you know there was something you heard, but you don't want to play the audio again to find it. And it's wonderful working with Laurie, who asks intelligent questions when we've been unclear, looks up foreign names when we forget to tell her the spelling, and gives us feedback on the audio. An automatic transcription could not do those things. We are so glad to have her on the team." - Anne
Eve Mayer, CEO, Eve Mayer Media
"Laurie gets us through the tough times. She proofs everything we produce, film, write or propose. We don't even know how to appropriately use a comma without her! Seriously, does the comma go in front of the and or not?! Laurie knows. In fact, Laurie knows everything about writing and proofreading. Book her!"
Nick Lieberman, Director of Operations, Diversity Crew
"Laurie is amazing, she is both incredibly accurate and extremely timely. She absolutely knows her stuff, and makes editing our documents seamless. There have been many times when she's gone above and beyond the scope to make us look good. I relish working with Laurie, and I recommend her wholeheartedly to all."
Erik Bosse, Author, The Cucuy Club Chronicles
"Laurie edited all three novels in my Cucuy Club series. She helped me clean and tighten my prose. She clearly “got” the tone of my writing, and therefore her suggestions were always relevant and invaluable. In short, she did what every editor should. She made me a better writer."
Julie Anne Stratton, Author of The Witches of Riegersburg
"I am extremely pleased and happy with Ms. Dietrich's narration of my novel, The Witches of Riegersburg. She dove into each character of my work and brought out their distinct voices in the audiobook. Her pacing of the story-telling is impeccable, and she is very professional to work with. Ms. Dietrich takes the time to work with authors and their preferences in order to bring the best possible outcome. "
Anne-Marie Keppel, Author
"I discovered a gem when I began working with Laurie. Finding an editor can be so tricky—the individual needs to be both precise and also hold enough spaciousness to grasp the intention of your writing and bring forth your best work. Those are unique qualities that I have found invaluable in Laurie."
