Periodicals

Marjorie is currently a contributing writer at Self magazine, where she writes about health and psychology, and a columnist for Tablet magazine, where she writes about all things Jewy and parent-y.

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 has written for many other magazines and newspapers, including The New York Times, Food & Wine, Redbook, 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. She’s also a former writer/producer at the Oxygen TV network. There she discovered that her perkiness levels were not up to a job in daytime talk television.

Here are a few of her clips (as PDFs, so they may be a bit slow to load): “More Mess, Less Stress” (from Self), “I Was a Spa Spy” (from Self), “Under the Umbrian Sun” (from Child), “Remembering Grandpa” (also from Child), “A Drinking Ship with a Sailing Problem” (from Budget Travel), “After the Storm” (about how pets who survived Hurricane Katrina were reunited with their owners, from All Animals, the Humane Society’s magazine), “Climb Every Mountain” (from Breathe), “Turn On, Tune In, Shut Up” (from Time Out New York Kids, where she used to be a columnist).
