You’re a brilliant magazine writer, Ashley! Yay!!
But I've also always wanted to try magazine writing full-time, and I've long been an admirer of — and subscriber to — The Atlantic. And I can't wait to join the great team @JeffreyGoldberg, @AdrienneLaF and crew already have over there, and are continuing to build. Send tips!
