Marilyn Lester has worn a lot of hats in her career, many of which involve words. Her core training came from alma mater, New York University, where she studied journalism. After a stint working as an associate editor in McGraw-Hill's now defunct magazine division, she became a freelancer––a path that took her into her current work as a critic and reviewer in addition to feature writing, magazine editing, content writing and editing, marketing, advertising, promotion and publicity and a few more odds and ends of wordsmithing, including co-authoring a few books.
Marilyn also developed a career in theater, another track, which took her into playwriting, dramaturgy, scriptwriting and creative producing and consultancy, as well as into producing musical programs and theater.
Along the way, she also worked with the late television pioneer Alvin Cooperman developing potential TV shows.
