Amy Wallace’s 30+ year career writing for marquee magazines and national newspapers
Magazines
Amy’s magazine work has appeared in GQ, Wired, The New Yorker, New York, the New York Times Magazine, Vanity Fair, Esquire, Details, The Nation, Elle, and other national publications. Two of her profiles – “Hollywood’s Information Man” (Los Angeles, 2001) and “Walking Time Bomb” (New York, 2019) – were nominated for a National Magazine Award.
In addition to freelancing, Wallace has been a correspondent at GQ, an editor-at-large at Los Angeles magazine, and a monthly columnist on creativity and innovation (“Prototype”) for the New York Times Sunday Business section. She also served as a senior writer at Conde Nast Portfolio.
Newspapers
Wallace spent 11 years at the Los Angeles Times as a reporter covering state politics, higher education, and the entertainment industry. During that period, she shared in two staff-wide Pulitzer Prizes: in 1992, for coverage of the Los Angeles riots, and in 1994, for coverage of the Northridge earthquake. Later, she became the Times’ deputy business editor over entertainment and technology coverage. Early in her career she spent two years at the Atlanta Journal-Constitution covering prisons and death row, among other things.
Anthologies
Wallace’s stories and interviews have been included in New Stories We Tell: True Tales by America’s New Generation of Great Women Journalists (2019), The Best American Science Writing 2010, The Best American Magazine Writing 2002, The Meanings of Dress, a textbook for design and merchandising students, and The Meaning of Life: Wisdom, Humor, and Damn Good Advice from 64 Extraordinary Lives, a compilation of Esquire’s “What I’ve Learned” columns.
