“I’ve had the great pleasure of working with Jackie for many years at Sesame Workshop and Scholastic Inc. If you’re looking for a top-notch writer/editor/producer for the educational market, you’d be hard-pressed to find someone more skilled and hard-working than Jackie. Regardless of the audience (parents, teachers, kids) or medium (web, print, software), Jackie always approaches projects with sharp focus, creativity, and meticulous attention to detail.”
“Jackie has worked on several projects that I have lead — both print and digital. In a few cases, Jackie worked as a manager of other writers. She is meticulous and incredibly organized. Jackie has always been willing to take on whatever role needs to be filled in order to get a job done well. I love working on projects with Jackie because I am always confident that I will get top quality work on time.”
“Jackie Glassman has been my editor at Sesame Family Newsletter from Sesame Workshop for the past three years. Jackie is a dream editor in every possible way. Professional, super smart, kind, thoughtful, with an incredible command of educational topics, children’s development, and the English language. I have learned so much from her expert, razor-sharp eyes, opinions, and always spot-on edits and comments. Getting notes from Jackie is enjoyable (her communication style is impeccable and always respectful of writers). Jackie’s editing improves every published piece. She is a complete pleasure and joy to work with.”
“Jackie writes with great clarity. She’s very detail-oriented and provides thorough background research on her own initiative. Always delivers on or before deadline. Very dependable, and always on my very short list of go-to freelance writers.”
— Kathy Kinsner, Curriculum Developer (Roads to Success)
“Jackie has done work for me as a freelance writer/editor over the past 10 years. She is consistently thorough, accurate, creative, and dependable. She burrows in to make sure she understands what is expected of her, and always comes through on time. Her work is thoughtful and interesting. Jackie is one of my first go-to people when I need a great freelance writer/editor.”
“Jackie Glassman is unmatched as an editor, curriculum developer, and manager. She pairs her loaded editorial skillset and boundless creativity with years of experience in educational publishing and technology to constantly create the highest caliber work. She is tireless in her work, from thoughtfully editing copy or assessments, to writing style guides that seamlessly onboard new contributors. As my manager, Jackie has been fully committed to my growth both within BrainPOP, and as a learning designer in general. She has been a mentor for me as I moved from the classroom into a corporate environment, always quick to offer just the right amount of support and guidance. Additionally, her editorial eye has greatly improved my writing. I cannot overstate how much value Jackie adds to any team, and I feel incredibly lucky to learn from her daily.”
“I’ve worked with Jackie for almost 15 years, in many different positions for both of us at BrainPOP. She’s an extraordinary colleague, always thinking about how to do better—deep in the weeds while keeping an eye on the big picture. When working with Jackie, I know the project is in good—even perfectionist—hands. She will not stop until it’s as good as she can possibly make it. Even while serving many, many masters: lexile level, pedagogical strategy, assessment integrity, I know I can always rely on her to make sure the writing is excellent. She is thoughtful and thorough, and meticulous in every aspect of her work. She’s a wonderful writer and editor—a guardian of the quality across many different contexts. She will always push for what she thinks is best for the product based on her extensive experience and deep knowledge. Jackie is an advocate for her colleagues and never lets ego get in the way of doing the best possible work.”
