How the Media Decides to Book Your Story
After reviewing thousands of pitches over three decades in media, here’s what really happens behind the scenes.
Press & articles
Thirty years deciding which stories ran. And regularly the subject of one.
The coverage, the archive, and what she is writing now.

She builds icons. Sometimes she becomes one.
Thirty years spent deciding who made the cover, and putting other people on billboards. Occasionally the industry turns the camera around: Los Angeles, New York, national television and cover features of her own.
Ten thousand articles. Start with the one you needed today.
Three decades of asking people how they really did it, and what it cost them. Every piece links to the original.
What it's like to be edited by her.
“Kerrie Lee brings a rare combination of heart-led leadership and editorial excellence. She doesn't just tell stories; she elevates them with purpose and intention. When she oversaw the feature on my work, I felt truly seen.”
“I was clear from the start: I only wanted to share it in its full truth, or not at all. Kerrie Lee honored that completely. When the five-page spread came out, it was completely true to me, which is rare in legacy media.”
“Your professionalism on how you make being interviewed feel like it's a genuine conversation is incredible.”
“I experienced firsthand the editorial instinct, integrity, and generosity she brings to her field. Kerrie Lee is a trusted authority in media and a leader whose insight can change the trajectory of a brand, business, or individual.”
“Kerrie Lee has been a dream editor to work with over the years. She knows how to make an article sparkle without going overboard on edits and criticism. I can tell that Kerrie Lee really lives the mission of her magazines.”
“Because of our collaboration I've seen greater exposure and spread of my life's work around the world. The media world is better today because of the gift of Kerrie Lee Brown and the visionary talent she pours into it.”
For thirty years, I wrote for other publications. This is written for you.
Honest, practical writing on visibility, influence and what success really costs, from the other side of the editor’s desk.
