I’m an editor, blogger, and community manager, which all falls under the broad and sheltering umbrella of marketing. I still think of myself as a journalist. I also still think of myself as a New Yorker, although I haven’t lived there in years.

I grew up on Long Island and live in San Diego with my wife and a sullen old cat. I avoid direct sunlight.

I blog on Google+ and Facebook. I post a lot of the same things in both places, so pick whichever one you like. Or both if you don’t mind the echo. I’m also active on Twitter: @MitchWwagner

If I have something big to blog about, I do it here: Mitch Wagner’s Blog.

I’m excited about indy ebook publishing.

I e-published a short science fiction story. It’s called “The Biggest Man in Lilliput.”

It’s a funny, exciting satire about a battle of wits to save 21st Century Lilliput. When threatened by a mob of human religious fanatics, it falls to Mayor Yoby to save his city by outthinking his enemies.

I’ve completed several short stories, and I’m working on three novels. Look for them as ebooks soon.

I’m full-time editor in chief of The CMO Site, an online community helping executive marketers improve at driving demand using the Internet, social media, mobile, and analytics and metrics. The CMO Site features blogs, message boards, video, white papers, netcasts and more about the science and art of marketing.

Remember: You can’t spell marketing without S-C-I-E-N-C-E.

Well, you don’t need the s or the c, but the rest of the letters are very important.

I lost 90 pounds between March 2009 and January 2011. I’ve been at my goal weight since. That’s kind of a big deal.
