Judy Gruen Reviews
Professional. Thorough. An Asset to Have on Any Writing Team.
You’ll Never Look Back
“Judy Gruen is the rare hybrid, a consummate professional and simultaneously a personal aide when it comes to clear writing. She ‘gets’ what her client wants to say and finds the right nuanced words and phrases to express it perfectly. She listens pleasantly and patiently, suggests, cajoles, and then is the alchemist who transforms leaden writing into glittering gold. If you can get her to work with you, seize the opportunity. It will enable you to advance in your writing career and you’ll never look back.“

A Book Coach Exemplar
“Judy has been a book coach exemplar, guiding and encouraging me along the way to help take my writing to an entirely new level, from a great story to a deep and enriching memoir. I am extremely grateful for her skill and expertise, and of course, her sensitivity and humor, evident in everything she does.”

Highest Recommendations
“Judy Gruen began writing for Accepted in late 2020 and has been doing so ever since. She has written blog posts, marketing materials, reports, and even co-authored a book with me. She is a clear and engaging writer who can coax a story and lesson out of the driest material. In addition, her work comes in reliably on time and of top quality. The fact that she has written for Accepted for over twenty years probably evidences my high opinion of her work better than anything I can include in this note, but I will add that I give her my highest recommendation as a writer and a pleasure to work with.”

An Indispensable Asset
“Judy Gruen is the best development editor I’ve ever worked with, due to her extraordinary combination of sheer skill, respect for the author’s voice, and instinct for retaining the authenticity of the manuscript while ensuring that the author remains cogent and cohesive. She renders me a better writer without ever compromising my voice. She ‘gets’ pain as well as humor (she’s a hilarious satirist). She sees the minute details as well as the bigger picture. She’s an indispensable asset to any author.”

An Editor’s Dream
“Judy Gruen blends the humorous with the deep. It’s a fine art. And she doesn’t believe in typos, an editor’s dream.“
