Our clients have said nice things about our writers' work. Sometimes the nicest messages come in passing, so we've included a few casual compliments as well as more formal recommendations.
- “In 2005 I collaborated with Amethyst on online supplements to our higher education textbooks. We needed someone who understood the needs of a developmental english reader, and could also search for useful readings in our online database. Amethyst exceeded my expectations, and provided quality content. I greatly enjoyed working with her and appreciated her sense of humor, professionalism, responsiveness, and ability to deliver content on time. I would definitely work with Amethyst again, on higher education textbooks or other projects!” -- Joe Gallagher, Thomson Wadsworth
- “I would like to wholeheartedly recommend Amethyst Hinton-Sainz for any position that involves teaching, technology, or writing, and particularly for any position that combines the three. I have known Amethyst for over thirty years. Aside from being a good friend, she is an exemplary teacher and writer. I hired her as a subcontractor to complete freelance education writing projects when I had some severe health problems. She came through for me and preserved my working relationships with my publishers so that they have come back for more work. I practically insisted that she be hired as Technology Liaison for the Southern Arizona Writing Project during that same period, knowing that I would be able to heal in peace while she took on all of my responsibilities with little training. Since then, she has proven her worth to the organization so much that they have kept her on even as I have stepped back into my role. Amethyst exhibits varied talents; she is an enthusiastic and capable leader, teacher, and colleague. She is clearly a dedicated teacher. She applies her leadership skills, cheerleading and contagious enthusiasm with learners of all ages. I will very enthusiastically hire her again for educational writing. When given a long list of people from whom to choose to work with in any setting, Amethyst will be at the top of my list.” --Heather Severson, Technology Liaison, Southern Arizona Writing Project and StudioGraphia, LLC
- “Sandy LaCava is a thoughtful, dedicated and effective writer, teacher and business woman. After making her acquaintance when we were Fellows in the Southern Arizona Writing Project Summer Institute, I recruited her to teach developmental reading courses at Pima Community College. Observing her effectiveness as a teacher and curriculum designer, I relied on her assistance to complete freelance education writing projects when I had some severe health problems. She has long played a mentoring role for young people; her comfort with that position is evident. She is also a fine writing workshop facilitator. She brings to bear her kindness, patience and that special twinkle of enthusiasm to any workshop she leads, providing safety, imagination ad fun for all participants.” --Heather Severson, Technology Liaison, Southern Arizona Writing Project and StudioGraphia, LLC
- “A highly valued and frequent contributer to Cast On, Ms. Ordover has written, recorded and produced numerous audio pieces for my podcast. A talented reader, with flawless delivery and a voice to die for, Heather is a skilled storyteller, who frequently works to tight deadlines and never fails to meet them. I look forward to working together again with happy anticipation.” --Brenda Dayne, Host, Cast On - a podcast for knitters
- “I have worked with Heather Ordover for over twenty years in various capacities. She is an exceptional educator, and brings hands-on experience to her curriculum design and consulting. Applying creativity, humor, patience and clarity, Heather is an effective and sought-after expert in teacher education. She is also a very good writer. When I needed help to complete a writing project during a medical crisis, Heather was the first one I called for assistance. I enjoy all of our collaborative efforts, and I know I can count on her for work of the highest quality.” --Heather Severson, StudioGraphia, LLC.
