2024 changes
I have “some news.”
Happy newish year! I come to you with, as they say, some news. Today is my last day at Sports Illustrated. It’s been a hell of a ride. I know how to edit print magazines now and how to balance that work with editing on the internet. I also met a ton of wonderful people and wrote a lot of stuff I’m proud of. Here are a few of my favorite stories from the past four years:
One of my many features on the nationwide attack on trans athletes

As for my next steps? I’ll be freelancing a lot as a writer, (copy) editor, and teacher.
It’s hard to leave, but I’m very excited for my next steps! I’ve got a p/t copy editing gig and I’ll also be freelancing as a writer, editor, and instructor, so please hit me up if you wanna work together: jmkliegman@gmail.com pass it on
