I love to write – it’s something I’ve always done, and now I’m lucky enough to be building my career as a writer.
Currently, I write a weekly column for The Daily Muse, focusing on the challenges young women face in the professional world. My work has been featured in publications including Forbes, The Huffington Post, LearnVest and The Grindstone among others.

Testimonials
Editor can be a scary word– a person easily identified as someone who critiques the work that you’ve poured your heart into– slashing sentences that you thought would change the world. But after reading Jenn’s articles, I felt more confident about putting my work into her hands.
Now, I can say that it was the best move I’ve ever made. Jenn doesn’t just improve and add structure to my writing, she helps me become a better writer along the way. She’s taught me so much about process, style and voice. In the time that I’ve been working with Jenn, I can see a difference in every single thing I write. And, if I’m feeling low on inspiration, I know Jenn will have an idea or advice that will light a fire. Editor, mentor, teacher– I’m happy to call Jenn all three. – Elizabeth Presson
