Stories and Advice for Aspiring Freelancers

Ann Logue (rhymes with vogue) started her career as a Wall Street financial analyst covering the healthcare sector. She followed a traditional path - undergrad studied economics, earned an MBA in finance, and joined an investment bank. Then, an awakening and a career change.

She is now a full-time freelance writer of six books and hundreds of articles.

She regularly shares her witty thoughts on The Whatever Years (Substack).

We have known each other for decades and reminisce on the ‘old days,’ including stories of WIRED Magazine, Henry Blodget’s fall from grace and reemergence at Business Insider, and the early days of the internet (Netcom, Netscape, Drugstore.com), and the dot-com bubble.

Her list of ‘must have’ books for every aspiring Wall Street trainee is in the notes below. Hint: Michael Lewis’s Liar’s Poker is at the top.

What is her favorite bookstore? Unabridged Bookstore in Chicago, IL.
