"Kerri is a
dream to work with. Her pitches are inventive and often
spring from hands-on experience. Her reporting is
in-depth and her finished pieces are well-packaged and
poignant--all of which comes through not only in her
writing, but in the response we get from our readership.
Kerri's pieces do consistently well for Petside.com,
generating a high level of page views and engagement.
For instance, her Halloween piece on the
plight of black dogs and cats looking to get adopted
resulted in a significantly high rate of "opens" for
that week's newsletter--an achievement that speaks for
itself."
Wendy
Toth, Associate Editor, petside.com

invaluable to an editor.”

“Kerri
has been a wonderful asset to my freelance team. Her
reporting is always focused, she has a good sense of what
readers want to know and I can always rely on her to be
flexible and get her articles in on time. One of her
greatest assets is her ability to find real voices and
characters to make her stories come alive. Web publishing
relies on writers like Kerri.”
Kali Geldis,
Deputy Managing Editor, MainStreet.com
“Kerri Fivecoat-Campbell
has been a contributing writer to our publication for the
last several years. As a testament to her capabilities, she
is the first out-of-state journalist our publisher has
allowed us to work with. She accepts assignments regularly,
often during holiday times when freelancers don't make
themselves available. She does an excellent job of making
sure she understands each assignment completely, and she
delivers what we request, with a willingness to answer very
quickly any questions we might have. As an editor who works
with several free-lance writers, I appreciate her quality
contributions to our pages.”
Maria
Hoover, Features Editor, The Springfield Business
Journal
“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, Former
Bureau Chief, The Kansas City Star
“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 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 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
