About Jane Imber

Jane (that’s me, but I’m trying to be professional here) is a writer living in Boulder, CO. You won’t find my politics here. You will find my political rants and groans at @JaneImber@mstdn.social. I just want to help you decide which books to read without wasting your time rehashing the entire plot, my every reaction, and what I had for breakfast. Ten words is all it takes. It’s also a great exercise in concise writing. Recommended means check it out. Highly recommended means you’re gonna love it, or be really, really glad you read it. If I don’t say anything, well, I’m just being polite. Sometimes I add a note because there’s a little something extra that I need to say, but they’re totally optional. Read on, my people.

Jane earned an MBA in marketing from Wharton at The University of Pennsylvania and a BS in Psychology from Temple University. Honestly, the psychology has been more useful in life. She was previously, fruitlessly represented by the Curtis Brown Literary Agency in New York.

Jane (me again) has written dozens of articles on business topics that were published in trade journals and newsletters. In addition, she has contributed to or edited several text books on direct marketing and is the Co-Author of 4 editions of Barron’s Dictionary of Marketing.
