About Dorri

Welcome to my site. I was born on Manhattan’s Upper West Side. I love dogs. In the photo at right I’m holding my perfect Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, #BustaRhymes. At first, I named him Buster Brown. But, as a native New Yorker, I tend to drop my “R”s.

Speaking of Rs, there are two in my name.

What Clients Say

Dorri is one of the most passionate writers I’ve ever worked with. She is tireless when it comes to keeping her finger on the pulse of what’s happening in pop culture, movies and the news and always has a new spin on current events at the ready.

In addition to being fun and easy to work with, I loved how she often shared not only her own content but that of her fellow writers, showing she’s not just passionate about the stories she writes, she’s passionate about the outlets she writes for as well.

Dorri has been the production designer for Holistic Primary Care, our medical news publication, since we launched in 2000. She is very personable, creative, and flexible.

She does great work, delivers when we need it, and rolls gracefully with last-minute changes, sudden deadlines, and just about anything else a publisher can throw at her! We highly recommend Dorri.

Dorri Olds saved my book!
The nationally-lauded book designer I’d hired originally returned garbage for proofs, with widows and orphans and inconsistencies throughout. The project was very behind schedule.Luckily, Dorri agreed to take on copyediting, scanning, fixing, and placing photos

She provided excellent input and went well beyond that. Dorri corrected the layout and formatting errors, and finishing Healers and Heroes: WWII Combat Medic.

The scope of the project turned out to be much bigger than I had envisioned. Dorri stepped up, and took on the extra work, and still met the original timeline. She’s a delight to work with, and her extraordinary talents were critical in bringing my book to fruition.
