Howdy-

Meh, the TV gig was seriously being run by stockbrokers and, shockingly enough, didn't work out very well. I've had a few other successes here and there, including a second book deal and a pro bono gig as director of communications for a PAC, but I'm not pulling in anywhere near as much paying copywriting work as I used to, so I'm keeping my eyes open for anything, really.

Thanks for the contact info, though; I appreciate it. Will e-mail Andy and ask if he's got some work for me.

Thanks again,

Hey Barrett-

Sorry to hear that... The television gig didn't pan out?

I don't really know of any permanent work, especially in New York. You might hit up the NY editor Andy Battaglia (abttaglia@theonion.com) and see if he needs freelancers. They're about to launch their own Decider.com in January, and if it's as much of a drain as our site has been on me, he could probably use all the help he can get. Good luck.

This is Barrett Brown; I wrote for Austin's A.V. Club until moving up to New York last year. Just wanted to check in and see where you're at now and if you know of any work to be had, as I am stricken with poverty and famine and whatnot.
