I’m living my dream. How many folks do you know who can say that? If you do know such lucky people, you know that because their work is their passion, they present the highest quality work – and that’s what I will provide for you, too. The road that lead me to my dream world of writing was diverse. I have a business degree. I worked for nearly two decades in the financial services industry for some of the largest credit card and mortgage companies in the United States. While in the corporate world, I utilized my writing talent crafting text and editing internal newsletters. My mother loved crafts and antiques. I spent many weekends during my childhood attending auctions with my parents. Mom also owned one of the first craft consignment shops in the Kansas City area. My writing not only reflects my experience and expertise in the business world writing for both consumer and B2B audiences, but also draws upon my other pursuits in life. I love animals - After a corporate job was dissolved and I was able to stay at home for a few months, our beloved late Dachshund, Hershey, developed anxiety when I left her alone. I wanted to continue to stay with her, so, she is partly responsible for leading me to my destiny as a writer. I like investigating new places and learning about different cultures – we’ve had exchange daughters from Germany and Australia. Our travel has taken us across the United States and to three countries in Europe. Finally, I adore finding ways to save our planet from excess. My writing has brought us to the beautiful Ozark Mountains and my desire is to see this landscape last as long as people inhabit this earth. As you will read in testimonials from editors, I can adapt to your publication’s voice while still presenting unique and interesting prose. My credits include MSN.com, the Associated Press, Audubon, Entrepreneur Magazine, The World and I, The Kansas City Star, Kansas Senior Press Service, Today’s Collector, Financial Advertising Review, Mini-Co Messenger and Green Builder’s Quarterly – among many others. Please take a few moments to browse my website, read some of my work and see what editors and clients have to say about me. Thanks for stopping in! What Editors Have To Say Kerri Fivecoat-Campbell and I work together on editorial content for Financial Advertising Review, a monthly publication for the banking, financial services and credit union industry. Kerri’s been right-on with every story. I’ve worked with a lot of freelance writers over the course of my 35+ years in editorial/publishing management who generate material that is off the mark. Kerri is exceptional in this regard. She gets it right every time. Her stories are complete, accurate, detailed enough (but not too detailed or padded) and answer all the key questions. Kerri also understands the value of cultivating sources and contacts…everyone she deals with in the financial services industry loves working with her. Susan J. Alt, President/Editor in Chief of FAR Kerri grasped the focus of our publication from the first section, something that takes other writers two to three tries. It’s clear she asks the right questions of sources, and she works hard to include as many representatives as possible from respective industries. Kerri is a pleasure to work with, and she responds well to feedback. Bryan Scribner, former Editor, Vance Publications Kerri-Fivecoat Campbell continues to amaze me with her grasp on the human-pet bond and her writing conveys that to the readership of Fido Friendly magazine. It is always a pleasure to receive a query from Kerri as I know her ideas are timely and right on focus for the magazine. Susan Sims, Publisher, Fido Friendly, the Travel and Lifestyle Magazine for you and your Dog Kerri Fivecoat-Campbell has become a trusted contributor to The Best Times, Johnson County’s monthly newspaper for adults 60 and older, and to the Kansas Senior Press Service, which provides aging information to publications throughout the state. Although she hasn’t reached that age milestone, Fivecoat-Campbell produces writing that is right on target. With wit, humor, and compassion, she began with a regular column about living with pets (which are dramatically important to many senior adults). Fivecoat-Campbell communicates well, is responsive, views her work seriously, but shows a light heart. She is also meticulously accurate, taking pride in her research and fact-checking. She’s an editor’s dream! Lynn Anderson, Editor, The Best Times Working with Kerri Fivecoat-Campbell is a pleasure. She is an excellent writer who can tackle any subject and provide a well-researched, well-written article that is tailored to meet the needs of a target audience. Moreover, her work comes in clean ad on time—wonderful attributes that are invaluable to an editor. Poppy Behrens, Executive Editor, Mini-Co, Inc. Kerri consistently demonstrates her technical skills -- story organization, sufficiency of sourcing, clear writing and on-time deadline performance. Wish we had a dozen like her. Dennis Boone, Bureau Chief, The Kansas City Star |
