To get back into the working world after 18 months off, I joined the newest Conde Nast venture--Portfolio. I'm a freelance editor on the web site, Portfolio.com, where I'm editing the homepage and helping set up the site's coverage for the 2008 presidential election.

I'm also writing again. The first real story I've done in months ran this week. It's all about the producing pair behind the movie version of the musical Hairspray. This is a story long in gestation: I first met one of the producers, Craig Zadan, eight years ago. Though we haven't kept in touch, Craig's been on my mind in some way ever since I met him. I'm glad Portfolio gave me a way back to him and his business partner, Neil Meron. The two are responsible for making movie musicals a commercially viable form of entertainment again.

Here's one of the teases that ran on the Portfolio.com homepage.
