Marj Atkinson, MLS, CEO Ask Marj the Research Sage

I believe everyone deserves the tools and support to succeed in research and publishing—whether you’re a student, author, or entrepreneur. That’s why I offer personalized coaching and research services: to empower you to reach your goals with confidence.

I love the hunt! As a passionate researcher (sage!), information sleuth, and academic coach, I founded Ask Marj to empower authors, businesses, and students with expert research, fact-checking, and academic coaching. My mission is to fuel success through personalized support, sharp insight, and a commitment to critical thinking and academic excellence.

Many students—especially in online and under-resourced programs—lack access to research support. I created Ask Marj to fill that gap.

I help you navigate research and writing, and offer research services for authors, entrepreneurs, and organizations—everything from fact-checking and secondary research to grant searches.

At the heart of my work is a deep drive to help others reach their Aha! moments. I am fueled by curiosity, driven by purpose, and grounded in the belief that knowledge should empower — not intimidate. Facts matter. Always.
