Margaret Littman

Nashville, TN

EditorWriterBook Author

Curiosity, skill and luck have allowed me to spend decades exploring eclectic topics ranging from the nutritional habits of female winter Olympians to the lawsuits intended to stop the building of Rio de Janeiro’s Guggenheim Rio museum. I am the author of several successful guidebooks, and have contributed to many others, including three essay anthologies. I love the variety of work I am able to do as a freelance journalist, but I particularly enjoy off-beat business stories, unexpected service features and travel journalism that shows people the gems in their own backyards. I enjoy writing short as much as (or more) writing long, a quality I think serves both my readers and editors well. I seek freelance editing assignments as well as writing assignments.

Jen Chase-Corwin

Boston, MA

CopywriterSocial MediaDirector

Wherever you read it, good writing resonates. From Bertolli to Breville, print to PBS, e-commerce campaigns to features inviting hunger, thirst and thought, my cross-genre background guides my gut about what makes quality content. My 500+ regional and national clips span education, psychology and travel, and include b2b and ghost-written content; RFPs; news; profiles; and retail website content. Clients praise my work's wit and lyricism. I'm armed with curiosity and empathy, and from the corporate to the creative I deliver in clients' voice of choice because I take direction well. Consider me for your next project. I craft come-hither content that keeps people reading-buying-wanting more of what you've got. **NOTE: I'm based in Boston and Las Vegas.**

WriterEditorBook Author

I'm an accomplished writer and editor with excellent skills in crafting stories and articles, interviewing, research and reporting, and editing. My writing style is clean, spare, and powerful. I've interviewed subjects from Lin-Manuel Miranda to Michael Jordan to Chris Evert to Norah O'Donnell to Robert Duvall. As a reporter, I know how to put interview subjects at ease, ask wide-ranging questions, and scrupulously check facts. As an editor, I know how to listen for a writer's individual voice and make it shine through their work, which is why I love working with kids as well as adults. I'm also a good public speaker and know how to engage an audience—skills honed through teaching (as an adjunct professor of writing at American University, with Writopia Labs, and working with immigrants) and through speaking engagements at bookstores, book festivals, and book clubs nationwide.
