Testimonials

"Personal finance is a tough beat, but she’s mastered the issues and knows the sources. Dori’s a dogged reporter, always ready to call – and call again – until she gets what she’s looking for. She’ll be an asset in driving coverage wherever she lands."

"…terrific stuff you dug up for the debt story. Thanks, it was an amazing example that really brought the story alive."

"Dori is a gifted and conscientious professional who is a pleasure to work with. When I was editor of Religion News Service, I gave Dori a sensitive assignment about prominent Christian women dealing openly with depression. Dori snagged an interview with Ruth Graham, Billy Graham’s daughter, and got her to speak candidly about what it took to recover from a bitter divorce that pulled her into a black hole of depression. The article gave untold women hope and inspiration."

"I first met Dori Perrucci when I spoke at an ASJA (American Society of Journalists and Authors) panel. We immediately struck up a conversation because of our experience in personal finance…not too many editors and writers can bond over talk of IRAs and inflation! When I look to hire someone to work on a project, there’s enough to worry about with deadlines and other issues, so it’s refreshing not to worry about ‘the content.’ That’s why I heartily recommend Dori. She knows the finance and investing world and is able to simplify complex subjects for a range of readers. She is the consummate professional. You give a subject, a deadline, and, with little else, she makes a project happen and takes it to fruition. She is well organized, thoughtful and has the ability to work with almost anyone."

"Thank you to Dorianne Perrucci, Senior Writer [Weiss Ratings’ Ultimate Guided Tour of Stock Investing, 2004] for meeting all her tight deadlines with a smile, and for her passion to provide consumers with easy-to-read information."

"We asked you to meet a nearly impossible deadline to write a simple, easy to follow guide on stock investing and somehow, you managed to get it done. Despite changes in strategy along the way, a lack of theme until the last moment, no dedicated research support or true editorial guidance, and no graphic examples to base a vision of the output on, you stuck with it and made sure you delivered quality work on time."

"I worked with Dori on a book-writing project over an intensive nine months in 2008/2009. The book, Asset Allocation For Dummies® (Wiley, May 2009), needed to conform to exacting standards relevant to the well-established For Dummies® brand. Dori brought to the project a very good initial understanding of the underlying subject matter, a sincere desire to learn everything she didn’t already know about it, a boundless well of energy to help us meet the demanding editorial schedule, excellent writing and editing skills, a healthy sense of humor, and the dogged determination to keep us true to those exacting For Dummies® standards. I would heartily endorse collaborating with Dori to any technical expert trying to take his or her message to the broad consumer market."

"My special thanks to Dorianne Perrucci, whose patience, perseverance and persuasion helped refine 15 years of newsletters into a book."

"My special thanks to Dorianne Perrucci, for taking my many notes, thoughts and experiences and so ably turning them into a readable, compelling manuscript."
