“Brennan is marvelous at shapeshifting while holding onto [her] power and signature style.”— Tina Chang, Brooklyn Poet Laureate           “Brennan is a bright light and gifted writer, creating sharp and lively content that helps our clients tell stories with sparkle and intelligence. We value her proactive ideation and fresh perspective on our projects, and our clients love her work as well. Brennan’s a rockstar!”— Laura Bergheim, CEO, Wordsmithie, Inc.         “Brennan is an incredibly smart, insightful and creative copywriter. She brings so much to the table; whether it is her curious and thoughtful nature, her finger on the pulse of culture, music and art, or her ability to hit the ground running and devour a project. Tech-savvy and literary-bred MFA, Brennan will do the research to write in the required voice, with knowledge and focus and an acute sense of timing and urgency as needed by each client project. She delivers! Brennan is a pleasure to work with and a shining talent that you best capture while you can.”– Joanne Kagan, CEO at AdEssence Marketing Inc.        “There’s a story about Rilke: a woman leaving a party where she had met him said, ‘Does he have to be a poet all the time?’ Perhaps not a true story...but Brennan [is] a poet all the time.” –Marie Howe, New York Poet Laureate    “Brennan is a pleasure to work with, and her enthusiasm, talent, productivity, flexibility, and ability to get things done have made her a huge asset to our team at Wordsmithie. In addition to her writing and editing work, she’s gone above and beyond helping with image sourcing and creation for a number of high-priority projects. Her ability to jump in and become a key member of our team in a matter of weeks was quite impressive.” –Alexandra Kenin, Google Studio Chief            “Brennan is both an artist and a deeply critical thinker, who approaches discussions about writing as a museum-goer might approach a painting (it’s no wonder that she is also interested in architecture and visual art). She’s incredibly smart, incisive, curious, and kind—all qualities that came across in both her writing and in discussions.” — Melissa Faliveno, Guest Faculty at Sarah Lawrence College        “Brennan’s is a mind awake to, and interested in, texts as engagements with possibility (of being, thinking, making). Brennan’s readings ask us to think about questions of power and love, as well the generative, troubling, and complex notions of what it means to be inside and/or outside (of an architecture, a legacy, a history, a life, a mermaid, a body, a text).” — Aracelis Girmay, Guest Faculty at Sarah Lawrence College
