Mary Jean (MJ) Babic

I'm an experienced freelance writer, combining a journalist's attention to detail with a fiction writer's ear for phrasing -- and the love of a good story common to both.

I'm a quick study, self-directed, and comfortable writing for general audiences or working with specialized, technical material. My clients have included Columbia University, the University of Michigan, Cornell University, Scholastic, and others. I've also published fiction in The Missouri Review and The Iowa Review. I live in Brooklyn, NY, with my husband, two kids, and two cats.

Some of my writing samples are below.
