writing and reporting with depth and clarity
I take pride in working hard for my editor or client!
“ A pro gets it quick, gets it right and communicates it flawlessly and effectively. Kristine is a pro. Speeches, articles, news releases – writer and editor- she’s been there and done that – often when the task should have been marked impossible.”
John C. Killorin, former Chief of Public Affairs, ATF (retired)
"I've been impressed with Kristine's ability on several levels--first, she's an out of the box thinker that never turns in a story that is pedestrian, boring or something everyone else is running; second, she's thorough and accurate. When as much stuff crosses your desk as does mine, number 2 is almost as important as number 1."
Diana Keough, Editor-in-Chief of www.ShareWIK.com, and Pulitzer-Prize nominated journalist, formerly with Plain Dealer and NPR
“Kristine has gone over and above to provide me with great stories that are well researched, edited and written. She communicates well with me as the editor and provides the stories in a timely manner. I would not hesitate to recommend Kristine to other publications or for other writing sources."
Terri Nighswonger, Editor, Northeast Ohio Family magazines, www.neohiofamily.com
“Kristine Meldrum Denholm has written three excellent feature stories for Police Magazine. She pitches great ideas, executes them on time, and works with our editors to produce the finished product. She is thorough, reliable, and creative. I enjoy working with Kristine and would recommend her to other editors.”
Top qualities: Great Results, High Integrity, Creative
David Griffith, Editor-in-Chief, Police Magazine
"Ms. Denholm provided my publication with a prompt piece after we gave her short notice about our needs. The article needed no edits, and her submission met every guideline. I wish I had a stable of writers like her. Reliability and quality are a marvelous and infrequent combination these days, but Ms. Denholm provides them both."C. Hope Clark

Kristine interviewed me and wrote an excellent bio for me when I was auditioning for the Food Network. Not only did she write a biography that caught people’s attention, but her turnaround time was excellent. She is a true professional and a pleasure to work with.

"Kristine's essay in Chocolate for a Teen's Soul was poignant and touched many readers, as evidenced by the email she received afterwards. It needed barely any editing. She was professional, patient and responsible during the book process, and I enjoyed working with her."

"Kristine approached us with an article idea based on her experience editing an ATF newsletter. She easily adapted her original article to fit one of our publications and its specific audience – church newsletter editors."
