Contributing Editor, Esquire Barnett Dateline: above the garage in Portsmouth RI, 9 January 2005 I almost forgot. I got a call from Mark Warren late on Friday, telling me that Esquire's senior management decided to name me one of their Contributing Editors. What does it mean? I don't become an employee, but I do become someone who's expected to pen things every so often for the magazine--in effect, I've become one of their own. I can also use the title when I appear in mass media. My name also appears on the masthead every issue. In short, they're grooming me, and it feels good. Esquire is a huge platform, and if I succeed in continuing to gain the magazine's trust and favor, I should be able to look forward to some interesting possibilities, meaning not just writing my own stuff but getting assignments to do their stuff. Had I anticipated such a direction in my career? No. But I welcome it. Esquire's been very good to me, and so I intend on continuing to be very, very good for the magazine.
