Among the writers she worked with, first at Simon & Schuster and then at Random House, are Ta-Nehisi Coates, Ruth Reichl, Salman Rushdie, Lena Dunham, Gary Shteyngart, Allegra Goodman, Tom Rachman, and Elizabeth Strout. Says Random House editor-in-chief Andy Ward of her work, “It was like a magical transference of belief, and I’ve never seen anybody do it better. She made writers believe in themselves.” – The New York Times
