I’m currently an Assistant Editor at Audubon magazine and Assistant Adjunct Faculty at Columbia University’s Graduate School of Journalism.

I’ve been at Audubon since February 2009, where I write and fact-check for the magazine and our blog, The Perch. I also run the magazine’s social networking efforts, a position I’ve had since August 2009. Since then, we’ve boosted our social networking numbers by more than 400%—and we’re still growing.

At Columbia, I’m the managing editor for one of two student-run publications. It’s my role to keep the process moving, to create the production schedule, help students with story ideas, and do anything else that producing a magazine entails. At the end of the semester, the students come away with a real publication. In 2009, my class created MagNet. In 2010, the publication was Link.

I’m also a freelance writer and editor. Some of my recent projects have included editing the books The Art and Craft of Coffee and Wine Lover’s Devotional, both from Quarry Books and both released summer 2010, as well as a cookbook called The Cook’s Book of Intense Flavors (from Fair Winds Press). I’ve written articles for publications such as (201) Magazine, about Ray Chew, musical director of the Apollo Theater, cartoonist Charlie McGill, and the Armenian community in Bergen County, New Jersey.

In addition to appearing in Audubon and (201) Magazine, my work has run in Columbia Journalism Review, The New York Review of Magazines, FIT Magazine, The Queens Ledger and the Queens Chronicle. You can reach me at wilsonjournalist [at] gmail.com.
