Jennifer Nix is currently Publisher of Guernica Magazine. A former National Public Radio producer (On the Media) and staff writer for Variety, Jennifer has also written for New York, The New York Observer, The Nation, Village Voice, National Law Journal, Salon, AlterNet, FireDogLake, DailyKos, and HuffingtonPost as well as other media outlets and blogs. As editor-at-large for Chelsea Green Publishing, she acquired George Lakoff's Don't Think of an Elephant and pioneered a Web-based marketing model that had Lakoff's work on the New York Times' and other bestseller lists for months. In 2006, she published Glenn Greenwald's How Would a Patriot Act? with Working Assets Publishing. The book received unprecedented coverage on the top progressive blogs, rocketing it–in one day– from obscurity to the No. 1 spot on Amazon, and quickly became a New York Times bestseller. As a publishing consultant, Jennifer has worked on a variety of progressive political books, such as the bestseller The Green Collar Economy by Van Jones. She is based in San Francisco.
