As announced in the NY Post yesterday, I just signed on as a contributing writer at Fortune. Which, as Alex Pareene at Gawker notes, means I'm doing the same thing I was already doing, but with a different title. My contract calls for 10 columns and 2 features over the print mag over the next 12 months and Fortune is published twice a month, so on average I'll have something in every other issue.
However, the contract is exclusive for business writing, which means I can't write the back-page column for Fast Company anymore. This is unfortunate because I really enjoyed writing the column and my editors there, David Lidsky and Bob Safian, have been incredibly supportive. My last column will be in the June issue.
Lastly, I've never emailed my articles upon publication because it feels like spamming people, but a lot of people have requested that I do that, as they don't always check this site and want to know. So I'm going to do a monthly (or maybe quarterly) newsletter, for people who have indicated that they want that. But it's opt-in, so if you want to be on it, email me at spierslist AT gmail.
