Moving On

EagleYou may have noticed that I've been writing a lot of freelance articles lately: consumer-oriented wine, food and travel pieces for publications like Via and US Airways (see "Articles I've Written" sidebar on the right for links). Well, I'll be doing a lot more of that in the coming months, along with more blogging. Yes, after five great years, today was my last day as a full-time editor at Wines & Vines. Don't worry, I'll still be writing my monthly "Marketing Matters" column for the magazine, along with occasional features and news, but I'll be doing it from the freelance-y comfort of my living room sofa.

Why? Sometimes you need a kick in the ass to do something different. For a while now I've been thinking about doing more writing on the consumer side of wine, and widening my focus to other passions like food and travel. Whether this means pure freelance work or another full-time post, I'm not sure: I'm keeping my options open.

In the meantime, let's all drink a toast to change. Salute!

Tina,
A huge surprise but you are a great writer and I am sure the freelance jobs will be falling from the sky. A toast to you and all the best from me and the Inertia family.

Hi Tina,

We discussed you before the show today and I was surprised to learn that you left W&V. That being said, I think you're well suited to freelance and you're always welcome back to update us on your latest projects!
