What Others have to say

---

After receiving an 8.5 million dollar grant from the US Department of Education in August 2020 to recruit and prepare effective teachers for urban and rural schools, I realized the need for materials to facilitate marketing throughout Georgia and to share with other grantees around the country. I reached out to the College of Education’s Communication Director and had the good fortune of being referred to Ms. Alma Stone. After interviews with other competitors for this contract, our team selected Ms. Stone because of her broad knowledge and insight regarding the field of education and her presentation on how to effectively reach our target population.  She was the consummate professional throughout the duration of our contract while delivering our products on time and on budget. As our grant nears its 5th year, we continue to use deliverables from our initial grant startup. Because of the products developed, we have been successful in recruiting career changers and other aspiring teachers into our program at GSU.

Alma’s professionalism, commitment, and efficiency led us to again request her services to develop a manual for a Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation Grant we were awarded for improving mathematics skills in middle school students. Our team was pleased with the outcome of the manual and excited to present it to the Gates Foundation when our project ended. I plan to continue to work with Ms. Stone in the future and highly recommend her services to those seeking a professional with a lovely personality, exceptional writing skills, and commitment to timelines.

I’ve had the privilege of working with Alma Stone during her time as marketing consultant for Calvary Day School. Alma's expertise and dedication in education marketing are truly remarkable. Her strategic insights not only enhanced the school's online presence but also extended to her profound knowledge of student information systems, website design, and various school applications and platforms. Alma's holistic approach, integrating technical prowess with marketing strategies, was truly commendable. She navigated these systems with ease, resulting in seamless user experiences and a significant positive impact on the school's digital landscape. Alma's commitment to delivering high-quality content and her ability to masterfully utilize technology made her an invaluable asset. Her work has undoubtedly left a lasting impression on Calvary Day School's marketing efforts. I wholeheartedly recommend Alma for her exceptional skills, professionalism, and multifaceted contributions to education marketing.

Alma and I worked together at Landmark Christian School from June 2009 to July 2017. She was a key member of my Institutional Advancement team lending her wise advice and council regarding Landmark’s marketing and communications needs.  As a result, our work, and thus the school’s professional outreach, improved dramatically.  In particular, she employed her considerable skills as a writer, editor and content manager to completely revamp and strengthen the Landmark brand. This lead to the creation of a newly conceptualized  magazine and annual report, as well as the establisment of our social media presence. Alma also lent her writing and editing skills to our  fundraising materials and digital communications. 

Further, during our time working together Alma managed what I consider to be two full-time positions at once as the school’s Director of Communications and its website manager. On two separate occasions Alma single-handedly led the conversion process for Landmark, as well as training the faculty and staff, as the school upgraded its website. Alma Stone is not only very good at what she does, but she is a joy to work with and a woman of great character. 

Recognizing her wealth of knowledge in the independent school market, The Galloway School reached out to Alma to write a social media and website audit that has already proven invaluable. In both audits, it was clear that she truly understood our school culture and community, as well as our goals. Using metrics from our social media accounts and a thorough read of our website, Alma gave clear recommendations, observations, and action items, both immediate and long term, that will help propel our presence on both platforms. Her uber-friendly personality and quick response time are just icing on the cake. We would love to work with her again!  

I first reached out to Alma for ghostwriting and editing for two deadline sensitive projects. Not only did she meet my deadline, but she exceeded my expectations with writing that perfectly captured the tone and voice of each project. Alma's writing style is clear and informative and she has a knack for quickly understanding the target audience.  She is my go-to source for compelling and well-written copy.

I have had the distinct pleasure of working with Alma for many years. I've been providing graphic design services for Landmark Christian School since 2007 and Alma, in her position as Director of Communications, has been a great partner. She is an outstanding project manager and a first-rate writer. Her skills set is deep – editing, marketing, brand management, public speaking – the list goes on. But what really sets Alma apart are her "soft skills." She knows how to lead, how to encourage, how to nurture. She is warm and genuine. Her skills as a copywriter would be a strong asset to any company. She earns my highest recommendation.
