‘Story Machine is great to work with. Sam’s comprehensive understanding of grant application processes and procedures inspires confidence. His intelligence, combined with his practical knowledge of how Arts Practitioners’ minds work, means that he can quickly grasp and translate into a well phrased application the plans and projects of his clients. And his generosity, patience and good humour are a joy to encounter in the competitive world of Arts Funding.’
