Dear everyone,
We are happy to share the great news that Anna Holmes is joining The Atlantic as a contributing writer, covering a wide range of subjects relating to American culture. As many of you already know, Anna is a force in American journalism. She is brilliant, wildly creative, and fearless, qualities that have defined the many major projects she has brought into the world.
Anna created the website Jezebel.com and later was the editor in chief of Topic Magazine, which was the recipient of numerous National Magazine Awards under her leadership. More recently, she has written regular columns for both The New York Times and Bloomberg Businessweek. You’ve also read her in The Atlantic of course, most recently about how women in particular need to be better at saying “no.”
Anna lives in Los Angeles and will start writing for us regularly later this month. Please join us in welcoming her to The Atlantic.
Thank you,
Adrienne, Jeff, and Jane
