She is as insightful and thoughtful as she is diligent and thorough." (From the Acknowledgements of HOW GOOGLE WORKS)"Marina Krakovsky ... is always creative and insightful, and a heck of an editor to boot. It was a great pleasure to work with you again, Marina!" (From the Acknowledgements of TRILLION DOLLAR COACH)"Smart, honest, clear, insightful, fast. Really great." (Review by Dmitri Mehlhorn, who'd hired me to write a critique of a book idea)"[I needed] to work with a writer who could take my words, stories, and explanations and shape them into a flowing, easy-to-read text while retaining my voice, style, and passion. That writer was Marina Krakovsky. I was really lucky to have a writer who was familiar with the relevant ideas from economics and who had the ability to support these ideas with relevant academic research... I want to thank Marina not only for all this, but also for pushing me through the long, unfamiliar, and sometimes painful process of turning a complex series of ideas into a book anyone can understand." (From author Bill Perkins's Acknowledgements in DIE WITH ZERO)
