Marjorie is currently a columnist for the National-Magazine-Award-winning Tablet magazine, where she writes about all things Jewy. She’s a frequent contributor to the New York Times Book Review.

From 2006 to 2010, she was a contributing writer at Self magazine. From 2002 to 2009, she was the East Village Mamele columnist at The Forward newspaper. From 2004 to 2006, she was a contributing editor at Glamour magazine. She was a columnist for Time Out New York Kids for a while, too. 

She has written for many other magazines and newspapers, including The New York Times (here’s an essay about her ambivalent relationship with a kosher butcher; here’s a review of some scary fairy-tale-inflected children’s books; here’s another review of some children’s fantasy novels), Food & Wine, Real Simple, Budget Travel, Seventeen, Ms., Wired, and the late, lamented Sassy, where she was the senior writer and health editor. At Sassy, she won several awards for health and social issues coverage. (Marjorie’s favorite article about the influence and importance of Sassy was written by Daniel Radosh, now the head writer at The Daily Show; it’s archived here.) She was also a writer/producer at the Oxygen TV network, where she discovered that her perkiness levels were not up to a job in daytime talk television.
