Entrepreneur: 100 Brilliant CompaniesJune 2011

About Me

Although I usually write about travel, food, books, and business, I consider myself a general assignment reporter and writer.

A contributing editor for Entrepreneur, I also write for publications including National Geographic Traveler, BonAppetit.com, Viv, Entrepreneur.com, and many others. I've also worked on book projects for publishers including National Geographic Books, Michelin, and Little Black Books.

Ready to put my curiosity, strong reporting skills, and wordplay (or photography) to work for your publication? Send me an email. I look forward to hearing from you.

(Oh, be sure to visit the haiku diaries where I'm living life 17 syllables at a time.)

The magazine's annual 100 Brilliant Companies report highlights great ideas across 10 different industries. For this year's section, I wrote about a travel search company, Hipmunk; a media app, Zite; and Yellow+Blue, a company that boxes up wine in the name of convenience, flavor, price, and the earth. Also in the June issue: How to map out an M&A brand strategy.

What My Editors Say...

"I have had the fortune of hiring Jenna Schnuer for multiple contract writing projects, both while I worked in the role of Senior Interactive Producer at the Travel Channel, and as Senior Editor and Producer at World Hum. Jenna's passion for both the art of writing and her subject matter, as well as her promptness with deadlines and great understanding of the intricacies of writing for the web, have made her and her content a valuable asset."--Valerie Conners
"Jenna's charming wit and outstanding writing style are the perfect complements to her professionalism and dedication. Bottom line: She makes me look good--and that's a tough act to beat. Besides, any freelancer who would risk life and limb by attending trapeze school (and live to write about it) is top-notch in my book."--Chris Wessling, Senior Editor, American Way

"Jenna's careful reporting, coupled with her desire not to take the easy-way-out and write the same old cliches everyone else writes, makes my life as an editor easier."--Margaret Littman, my editor on projects for MapQuest, Journey magazine, and Mobil Travel Guide
