There goes the neighborhood.

Our business isn't all fun and games. Except it's pretty fun. And sometimes we play games.

Our business isn't all fun and games. Except it's pretty fun.

Jami Weisbender, Director of Editorial Development

Ms. Weisbender finds joy in freshly laundered PJ pants, puns, and frequent hand washing. Clients look to her for original writing and take-no-prisoners editing, as she once likened seeing a misplaced comma to “ripping open a barely healed wound.”

She chews on ice regularly, and runs a space heater year-round. She favors bland, bread-and-cheese-based foods, and has been called un-American for her aversion to pudding. She believes breakfast for dinner is highly superior to breakfast for breakfast.

In a rare spontaneous moment at 3 years of age, she sang “Elvira” at a relative’s respect calls on the funeral home microphone. Reviews were almost unanimously positive. Her greatest fear is surviving the apocalypse and having no access to lip balm.
