TESTIMONIALS
Jason Avant, Content Marketing Manager/Editor
KWSM: a digital marketing agency
"Suzie brought experience and a great, can-do attitude to the KWSM team. Her time in the newsroom served her well, both in her approach to her work and how she worked with the digital marketing team. As her editor, I always appreciated her quick and positive response to feedback; she continually works at making herself a better writer, and always does so with a sunny disposition. Suzie would be a great asset to any writing team!"

Alicia Lopez, Editor
Los Angeles Times Community News
"I worked with Suzie Harrison in 2002-2005. If you get a chance to work with or know Suzie take that opportunity. In my work as a city editor, I have overseen many journalists. Suzie stands out among them as someone who has an incredible passion that cannot be taught. I can work with reporters on sentence structure and AP style, but I can’t teach the sort of drive that Suzie has.
​
Suzie was the type of person who knew the community inside and out, was a person sources would love to come to with information and stories, and who cared about her work tremendously. She was never a 9-5 worker and never said no to an assignment. She was always on the job and it showed with her ability to be my eyes and ears on all issues. She was primarily our arts and entertainment reporter, but she also covered news with gusto. When news happened you could count on Suzie to be ready and able to talk to anyone necessary.
​
It may sound like I am bias in some way toward Suzie, but the reality is she simply stands apart from the many reporters and photographers I have worked with in 25 years of journalism. Given the chance to work with her again, I would take it and be tremendously grateful."
Shaena Stabler, Publisher & Editor

“Suzie writes with great depth of heart and character. Her writings never come off as ‘assignments’ but rather as thoughtfully crafted journeys, both for herself and the reader. She is warm, inclusive, and fun to work with.”

“Suzie Harrison has worked with and for me as an arts writer/editor with The Coastline News, Laguna Beach Independent and StuNewsLaguna.com. In that time, she has impressed me with her sense of integrity for the arts in Laguna Beach. At all times, the respect and passion that she has for our arts institutions and artists have been paramount in her work and activities.”

“Suzie has all the experience as an excellent journalist and writer. She also worked with the Chamber of Commerce as the PR Director. She knows all the ins and outs of this town and surrounding areas. Suzie is very social and the real pulse of Laguna. She has a great reputation for building and maintaining strong relationships and key alliances that have really made a difference in Laguna Beach. Suzie has a great personality and is a great team player. They don't come any better.”
Ken Jillson, Founder

“Suzie’s vast experience as a journalist in Laguna Beach covering the art scene for many years are indispensable. I’ve known Suzie for many years and have enjoyed working with her on multiple projects for the AIDS Services Foundation of Orange County and its Big Splash annual fundraiser, as well as numerous productions with No Square Theatre. Suzie is a quick study and linked with her unending passion for the arts, creativity, enthusiasm, and professional work ethic, she’s an outstanding asset.”
Sharbie Higuchi, Marketing & PR Director

“Through the relationships and trust Suzie's built over the years, she has had incredible success in bridging and connecting the artists, the arts organizations, and the community in Laguna Beach, which is clearly conveyed in the depth of her work.”

FITZ Maurice, Internationally Acclaimed Artist
New York Jackson Pollock Foundation Award Winner
“Suzie is one of the best writers that I have had the honor to work with. As a lifetime artist, my art has been written about throughout the U.S. and Europe. Over the years, Suzie has written about my art and travels. I always appreciated how well she listened and then effectively put into words the message that I as the artist was trying to put across. A writer like Suzie is a rare straight shooter, who is responsible in all ways and yet delightful. If you would like to work with a person who has so much experience and confidence as a professional writer, then I highly recommend Suzie.”
