No agencies. No AI-generated cover letters. We’ll know.

The Saturday Review is coming back.

For those who don’t know the history — the Saturday Review was one of America’s great magazines. Founded in 1924. Home to Norman Cousins, Bennett Cerf, and some of the sharpest ideas journalism of the 20th century. My father was its publisher.

I’m bringing it back. Quarterly. Print and digital. Focused on longevity, science, culture, and the future.

I’m looking for a part-time editorial assistant — 8 to 10 hours a week, remote — to help get it out the door. A strong writer with an editor’s eye who works independently and cares about ideas.

If that’s you, or you know someone, link in comments or DM me directly.

This one’s personal.
