Testimonials
"I highly recommend Donna for technical writing and editing of technical documents, especially those related to the natural sciences. She is always very thorough in her work and asks questions when she needs to. She is good at comparing separate documents across a similar theme and pointing out any inconsistencies that need to be addressed."
Megan Karklins, Water Research Foundation
"Donna has done a remarkable job, working tirelessly with our authors and reviewers to translate scientific and technical jargon into language the rest of us can understand. Compared to others doing this, Donna's work is excellent, at the top. She went above normal expectations in all respects. It has been a pleasure to work with her."
Mike Cloughesy, Oregon Forest Resources Institute
"The planet needs more books like this one [Wild Things], which remind us that we're all quite capable of making big and useful change."
Bill McKibben, author, The End of Nature
"Donna Matrazzo is exceptional. From concept to completion Donna uses extraordinary organizational skills combined with a flair for simplifying complex technical information. Her unique ability to assemble engaging and exciting stories from what seem to be a nebulae of disconnected facts always boggles my mind. Working with Donna gives me the confidence that what I'm working on will be of the highest caliber."
Stephen Wessells, U.S. Geological Survey
"Donna is an unusual mix of top-level creativity and top-level analytical ability. She understands very complex and historical information and can translate that into material that I find understandable. She is very organized and never misses deadlines. A very vibrant person and professional."
Vicki Lind, Vicki Lind & Associates
"You tackled everything brilliantly. Thank you for being so thorough. When I worked at National Geo that's was exactly what they were looking for, accuracy and research!"
Michelle Alvarado, Wahoo Productions
"You do great research and you like to get to the heart of the matter. You're highly experienced, with command of the language and knowledge about how to charge the message with words that will create interest, compel and motivate."
Dick Wright, Future Post Media
"The stories remain moving because they're told with such power."
Grant Butler, The Oregonian, review of Oregon Historical Society exhibit
"The Willamette River Guide is jumpin'-off-a-rope-swing-arms-flailin'-divin'-head-first-into-the-mighty-Willamette-laughin'-out-loud awesome!"
David Primozich, Willamette Basin Projects
"I repeatedly hired Donna Matrazzo to work on the Proceedings of our annual Symposium. She attended the symposiums and edited a text/images synopsis for each of the diversity of science speakers. She consistently captured the essence of long presentations and translated complex science into published reports that can be readily understood by our state legislators and the general public.
Bob Bates, Director, Washington State Academy of Sciences
