Jay Stowe

In New York, Jay went on to edit and write at Esquire, Spin and The New York Observer. In 1999, he decamped to Santa Fe to work for Outside magazine, where he eventually became executive editor and once, unforgettably, cavorted with penguins in New Zealand. His work and that of his writers was frequently anthologized, and he was named an “editor to watch” by Columbia Journalism Review. In 2004, he moved back to Ohio and served for 13 years as editor-in-chief of Cincinnati Magazine, receiving numerous local and national accolades. He resides in Cincinnati with his wife, daughter and a former racing greyhound named Radish.
Will Palmer

A graduate of Arizona State University and the Iowa Writers’ Workshop, Will worked in New York on the staffs of Esquire and Men’s Journal before moving to Outside, in Santa Fe, where he also served as managing editor, wrote gear reviews and, despite his acrophobia, was cajoled into learning to skydive. (Didn’t help.) He spent the 2010s as a freelance editor for clients including Scribd and The New York Review of Books and once copy edited the Bible for a project called Bibliotheca. He also edited more than 100 books for Penguin/Random House, Houghton Mifflin, HarperCollins and others, working on titles by a former U.S. secretary of state and the sitting vice president. Will joined Fitch Ink in 2021 and lives in Santa Fe with his wife and their mini dachshund, who has 3-inch legs but can outhike them both.

As head of the fact-checking department at American Heritage magazine, she honed her research skills by verifying the work of some of the country’s top historians.

During a long freelance career, she worked with the Smithsonian, HarperCollins and Forbes.com, and appeared as a commentator on the History Channel. Her published writing covers topics from the American Revolution to the Grateful Dead, from prehistoric volcanoes to semiconductors.
