\n

Jennifer has been instrumental in the biggest career shift in my life: to become the writer I always wanted to be. She is no dilettante and has no patience with excuses: from the start she took me seriously, on the condition that I, too, would take my writing seriously. She basically made me responsible for my own success, not only giving extremely precise advice, and opening up her amazing contact list to me, but pushing me to take the steps I needed on the road to publication, to always bounce back from rejection letters, and to think of the writing life like a pro. I had written and published before as an academic. Thanks to Jennifer, I also became a journalist and general audience author. To date I\u2019ve published articles in The Atlantic, Politico, The Nation, The Boston Review, The New Yorker\u2019s blog, Le Monde, among many more.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

~C\u00e9cile Alduy, Associate Professor of French Literature and Culture, Stanford University, and author of Marine Le Pen prise aux mots. D\u00e9cryptage du nouveau discours frontiste (Seuil, 2015).<\/p>\n

\n

My career wouldn\u2019t be where it is today without Jennifer. Her keen, focused editing has not only helped sharpen my writing but has helped me to learn how to be a better writer. Not only that, Jennifer is the kind of cheerleader every writer needs\u2014she boosts my confidence and champions my ideas and work with unflagging enthusiasm and positivity. Thank you Jennifer!\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

~Christine Gross-Loh<\/a>, Ph.D., author of Parenting Without Borders: Surprising Lessons Parents Around the World Can Teach Us<\/a> (Avery) and coauthor of The Path: What Chinese Philosophers Can Teach Us About the Good Life<\/a> (Simon & Schuster)<\/p>\n

With zero exaggeration, I can say that Jennifer Margulis has had a hand in every one of my literary successes. She is EXCELLENT during developmental stages with an uncanny sense of what you’re really trying to say. No one is better at suggesting direction shifts for a manuscript or editing the hell out of lines you thought were pretty great. Once she\u2019s helped push your work toward perfection, she offers smart suggestions of where to submit,\u00a0whom to contact,\u00a0and what to develop next. Jennifer is warm and supportive, funny and candid and no-nonsense and scary smart. You want her in your writer\u2019s corner!\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

~Kimberly Ford, bestselling author of Hump: True Tales of Sex After Kids<\/a> (St. Martin\u2019s) and finalist<\/a>, The O\u2019Henry Prize Stories<\/p>\n

You know that something doesn\u2019t work with a book chapter, but you can\u2019t quite figure out why or what. You read it again and again, telling your self, \u2018Maybe it\u2019s okay?\u2019 Then you ask a trusted editor to look it over. The editor tells you exactly what is wrong as well as how to fix it. You are grateful. Her advice is everything you wish you would have come up with on your own\u2014but just couldn\u2019t. That editor? Her name is Jennifer Margulis, and no piece of writing should ever get published without her giving it a once over.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

~Alisa Bowman, co-author of 7 New York Times bestsellers, including The Skinny: On Losing Weight Without Being Hungry<\/a> (Harmony) and Outsmarting Alzheimer\u2019s: What You Can Do To Reduce Your Risk<\/a> (Reader\u2019s Digest).<\/p>\n

Jennifer Margulis is a soup-to-nuts editor extraordinaire. From planning research to generating the raw material to fine-tuning the final product, Jennifer does it all\u2014and she does it with an ebullience that will buoy any writer\u2019s spirits. She helped me enormously as I wrote my first book and I recommend her highly to anyone facing the big blank page.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Jennifer\u2019s coaching gave me specific steps for using social media to publicize my book. She showed me how to connect with other bloggers and to use my own posts to the best advantage, increasing my readership and my web presence.\u00a0She also helped me to strengthen my book proposal by putting it into my own voice with authority.\u00a0I enthusiastically recommend her as a supportive and knowledgeable coach!\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

~Jane Katch<\/a>, author of Under Deadman’s Skin: Discovering the Meaning of Children\u2019s Violent Play <\/a>(Beacon Press), and Far Away From the Tigers:\u00a0A Year in the Classroom with Internationally Adopted Children<\/a> (University of Chicago Press).
