Courtney E. Martin has been called “one of our most insightful culture critics and one of our finest young writers” by Parker Palmer, and her writing has been described as “varied, transformational, and necessary for us all” by Jane Fonda and “a hardcover punch in the gut” by Arianna Huffington.

In 2010, Beacon Press published "Do It Anyway: The New Generation of Activists," in which Courtney profiled eight young people doing social justice work on the ground. In early-2010, Seal Press published her first anthology, co-edited with J. Courtney Sullivan, "CLICK: When We Knew We Were Feminists." Courtney also co-wrote the life story of AIDS activist Marvelyn Brown, called "The Naked Truth: Young, Beautiful and (HIV) Positive." Courtney’s first book, "Perfect Girls, Starving Daughters: How the Quest for Perfection is Harming Young Women" was awarded a Books for a Better Life nomination and was called “smart and spirited” by The New York Times. In 2011, Penguin published her fifth book, "Project Rebirth: Survival and the Strength of the Human Spirit from 9/11 Survivors," released in conjunction with a film called "Rebirth" by Academy Award-winning filmmaker Jim Whitaker.
