Esquire excellence
Monday, May 15, 2006 at 2:41PM Esquire, at which Tom is a Contributing Editor, recently won two National Magazine Awards, including the award for General Excellence for magazines with circulation between 500,000 and a million.
Mark Warren, Executive Editor of Esquire and editor of Tom's two books, writes to Tom:
Pretty cool, as Esquire has never in its history won that award. I forward it to you because you are well represented in the magazine's Gen Ex entry for that coveted prize. You've done amazing work for us. So congratulations. Incidentally, we were nominated for 2 this year, and we won 2.
Congratulations to Tom and Mark and everyone at Esquire.
Tom's comment:
I am especially happy and proud, because 05 was the first (and possibly only, given my sked now) year in which I put three pieces into the magazine. Esquire submitted three issues for consideration featuring two of my articles: The first one in March ("Mr. President, Here's How to Make Sense of Your Second Term") was included in the "Best American Political Writing" volume for 2005. The second one in November ("The Chinese Are Our Friends") made the 2006 volume of "Best American Political Writing". (The other article on Rumsfeld ("Old Man in a Hurry") was in the June issue and, thus, not submitted.) So a pretty good year for me, and thus nice to see it reflected in Esquire's win. Winning the main award in your circulation category is a very big deal in the industry, so very cool to be associated with it.
