“I’ve known Francine for many years and value her friendship. She is a professional communicator with incredible integrity! Her Oakland Tribune stories are engaging and enlightening and her book on the Fior D’Italia is a fabulous read! I recently had the opportunity to hire Francine to teach a memoir writing class to low-income San Francisco Seniors. The class is a labor of love for the seniors and for Francine as well. I especially appreciate Francine’s concern in doing things thoroughly and asking thoughtful questions that help identify new and exciting directions for the class.”
-Linda Murley

“Francine was delightful to work with and she made me feel like the small project she worked on for me was very important to her. She was also savvy on a variety of issues I needed to discuss with her…”
-Patricia Volonakis Davis hired Francine as a Writer/Editor in 2008

“Francine Brevetti is masterful with the English language, whether it is as a journalist writing for business periodicals, a creative thinker observing her environs and communicating about them to readers and students alike. She opens new doors of perceptions for her audience. I count myself fortunate to be part of that audience for more than two decades! Meryl Moritz”
-Meryl Moritz, Principal, Meryl Moritz Resources

“Francine is a skilled and talented writer. She is curious about many things, incisive in her questions and analyses, and adept at distilling masses of information into interesting and informative books and articles. (She also has a wicked sense of humor!)”
-Bob Stull, Scientist I/Scientist II, PPD Discovery, was with another company when working with Francine at Francine Brevetti Productions.

“Francine is a dogged reporter who pursued stories that other reporters might have given up on. She is dedicated to her beat and worked hard to give voice to those who often are overlooked, and she writes from a unique perspective and personal experience that bring life to her work.”
-Michelle Maitre, Assistant managing editor, Oakland Tribune (managed Francine at Francine Brevetti Productions)

“Francine is a smart, skilled, and detail-oriented reporter. She wrote a very astute and well-researched article on my client for the Oakland Tribune.”
-Jane Rauckhorst Corrigan, Consultant and 2008 Campaign Liasion, LinkedIn, Self-employed (was with another company when working with Francine at Francine Brevetti Productions)

“One thing I can say about Francine is she is passionate. When given an assignment – or when covering her former Port of Oakland beat – she would always put her all into contacting and developing sources and producing a story ON TIME. Francine takes ownership of any task presented to her with dedication and brings a wealth of experience to the table.”
-Michelle Fitzhugh-Craig, City Editor/Oakland Tribune, Bay Area News Group-East Bay (managed Francine at Oakland Tribune)
