Professional. Thorough. An Asset to Have on Any Writing Team.
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.“
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.“
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.”
Thoroughness & Professionalism
“Working with Judy on my first book has been a special experience. I had worked with two previous writers and had been unhappy with the results. I was naturally skeptical about trying yet another one and impatient for results. Judy’s understanding and respect for the author’s voice and message finally helped my manuscript take shape into something I am very proud of. Her thoroughness and professionalism is something extraordinary.”
A True Gift to Work With
“Judy Gruen is an outstanding ghostwriter and you will be fortunate if you bring her on board. She has a very strong background in Jewish history and religion and you can rely on her expertise. I am a New York Times bestselling author and my company has been a leading provider of ghostwritten books for 24 years. I’ve hired many writers over the years and Judy is a true gift to work with. I urge you to hire her.”
Warmth & Depth
“Judy Gruen is an outstanding writer and editor. She helps her clients imbue their writing with a warmth and depth that supports every laugh line. I write comedy professionally, but her distinctly different perspective is a great asset to me.”

A Consummate Professional
“Judy Gruen is a consummate professional and a pleasure to work with – a versatile writer who can cover humor, current events, spiritual growth – with insight and sharing a piece of her soul.”
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.”
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.
Attention to Detail
“I appreciated Judy’s attention to detail, thoughtful suggestions, and responsiveness. We had a warm and easy working relationship, which made the editing process enjoyable.”
Insights, Style, Composition
“Judy always brings insights, style, composition, and structure to my writing. USA Today recently published an article of mine which she helped me with enormously! If you wish to improve your writing, or need a writing coach and advisor for a project, engage Judy.”
Thank You Judy!
“As I entered into the world of writing, I was overwhelmed by how flooded the market was. How could a young, aspiring writer keep afloat among a sea of experienced authors? I turned to Judy for assistance. She taught me how to hone my skills and zero in on the audience I was trying to reach. Since then I have been had several published articles and am looking forward to many more to come. Thank you Judy!”
Wise, Experienced, Principled
“With an eagle-eye, Judy zeroes in on a manuscript’s flaws, balancing to-the-point, constructive criticism with sincere encouragement and praise. If you hire Judy, you get a wise, experienced, principled advocate for your success as a writer.”
Respect and Collaboration
“Judy enhanced my book in so many ways with her professionalism and attention to detail. At the same time, she really works with the client, never heavy-handed, but rather with a sense of respect and collaboration. I recommend her work highly!”
