In 1918, Kaufman began her career as an assistant to the press agent for silent movie actresses Natalie, Constance, and Norma Talmadge. In 1919, their daughter Anne was born. After a stint the following year as a play reader for Broadway producer Al Woods, Kaufman joined the publishing company Boni & Liveright. During her five years as head of its editorial department, she edited works by important novelists, poets, and playwrights, including T.S. Eliot, William Faulkner, e.e. cummings, John Steinbeck, Eugene O’Neill, Djuna Barnes, and eventually, her husband. She edited Ernest Hemingway's first published work—a collection of short stories titled In Our Time—and convinced her reluctant bosses to publish it.
In the 1930s, Kaufman served in various other editorial capacities, including fiction editor at Harper's Bazaar and Viking Press, and eastern story editor for independent film producer Samuel Goldwyn. Her husband is said to have valued her opinion on his work more than anyone else. She was "always the first reader", she said, of his plays. "I say what I honestly think about them," she said. "Sometimes I'm listened to, sometimes I'm not."
While Kaufman was known principally for her editorial work, she wrote and published short stories, mostly in The New Yorker, and wrote two plays: Divided by Three (with Margaret Leech) and The White-Haired Boy (with Charles Martin), both of which were successfully produced.
