Ruth B. Margolin broke into the field of crossword puzzle construction in 2014. She has since had fifteen puzzles published in the New York Times, including five Sunday puzzles. In addition, she has had puzzles published in the Wall Street Journal, USA Today, and the L.A. Times, and she now has a monthly crossword feature in her local New Jersey newspaper. She also serves as an Official at the annual American Crossword Puzzle Tournament. In her professional life, Ruth was the director of a variety of educational programs and schools over the past several decades. She now spends her time involved in intensive volunteer work in the community, and she writes puzzles as a hobby. With a love of words and an empty nest, Ruth enjoys the creativity of making puzzles, and she gets a kick out of the conversations that result from her unusual response to the inevitable small talk question: “So, what do you do?”
