Jennifer L. Grybowski

"I have known Jennifer since Jan. 2008 in my role as Senior Editor for New England Antiques Journal. During her employment as a proofreader, editor and writer with NEAJ, she proved herself to be an efficient multitasker adept at navigating the ever-changing landscape of a print publication. Additionally, her work ethic and attention to detail were exemplary, as was her command of language and the ability to homogenize a variety of writing styles to fit industry standards. I have also hired Jennifer as a proofreader for my debut novel, The Hanged Man’s Noose, prior to receiving a publishing contract in 2014. Since that time, Jennifer has been a front-line beta-reader for my subsequent three mystery novels, and her insights and keen eye have proven to be invaluable."

"As the executive editor for 10 years leading 15 weekly newspapers at Turley Publications reaching 100,000-plus readers, Jennifer served as my primary reporter and copy editor. She also served as chief editor for several publications. During that time, Jennifer demonstrated a keen, intuitive sense of news-gathering decisions, routinely breaking investigatory and enterprise stories wide open in the communities we served. She helped mold and coach many of our younger writers as fresh college graduates into better writers on a weekly deadline basis. She once led an engaging, effective workshop on improving editorial content for 30-plus journalists. She was my best teaching editor at Turley. After I left journalism three years ago to open my own writing business, Jennifer stayed on with me as a writer and continues to generate robust, business-centric stories on the tremendous development growth occurring in Worcester. In my 25-years as a daily and weekly newsroom leader across Massachusetts, Jennifer is clearly one of my all-time top favorites. Typically, journalists bring with them one special skill set. Jennifer has them all and knows how to clearly convey that wisdom and tutelage to other younger journalists in a way that can be clearly comprehended using real world scenarios."

"Jennifer's work was always of the highest quality. She displayed a natural affinity for language that took her beyond the usual confines of copy editing – very helpfully and productively, I might add. She understands clearly the importance of style in written communication. In the more conventional aspects of copy writing she showed the same diligence. Her work was meticulous and very few errors or infelicities escaped her eagle eye! She always met deadlines, and I never had to worry about her work being a day or two late. In personality, she is cooperative, friendly and a pleasure to work with."

Professor Emeritus in Communication and Cultural Studies, the University of Wisconsin- Madison

“As a content manager/editor, I worked with Jennifer to create a series of blog posts on career advice and management tips. Her articles were some of the best-performing on the blog, including one post that has received over 6k pageviews, and they were always clearly written and engaging. Jennifer is a gifted writer, and beyond that, she's also reliable and meets deadlines. I've enjoyed working with Jennifer and recommend her writing and editing services for anyone who needs well-researched marketing content or journalism.”

-- Rachel Lake, Content Manager, IvyExec

"I was delighted with the work Jenn did for me as a beta reader of my manuscript. She was thorough and challenging, but kind and specific. Her comments were thought provoking and detailed enabling me to develop areas that needed further work. She was timely in her response and amenable to follow-on, clarifying questions I sent her way. A real pleasure to work with."

"Jennifer is talented, deadline-oriented, always responsive, and has created some of the top-performing content for our site. She takes any idea or assignment and elevates it through her top-notch writing skills. Whether long-form narratives or bite-sized marketing copy, she excels in creating captivating and engaging content. I can't recommend working with her highly enough!"

-- Mara Fahl, Content Manager, IvyExec

"Highly recommend Jennifer. She has been amazing to work with so far and shows the same energy and excitement as I do in my projects. I didn't look very far to find an editor. I knew after the first phone call who my editor was going to be for my book. No doubt in my mind. She's very professional, courteous, and energetic. Can't ask for much more!"

-- Jeff Clark, MSM, SSGB

"I hired Jennifer to copy edit my book. She did a great job asking key questions and making recommendations to make my work better. She was readily available and provided the feedback in a timely manner. I highly recommend Jennifer and I will absolutely hire her for future projects."

I cannot recommend Jennifer enough. Not only was she a delight to work with, but she is a smart interviewer, both detailed in her follow up and creative in how she builds context. This, combined with her strong writing skills, makes her an incredibly compelling storyteller. I will be actively seeking out opportunities to work with Jennifer again!
