Amanda Altman ~ Exercise editor, Pilates Style Magazine

Almost 10 years ago when my first iPhone app came out, there were
only 4 other Pilates-based apps in the iTunes store and my app
was the only one showcasing the classical mat work. I was
thrilled when I was contacted by Amanda Altman, then the
assistant managing editor of Pilates Style magazine because they
were interested in featuring my app. Now a decade later, I have
another opportunity to be just as thrilled because Amanda Altman
is our guest today.       

With a degree in Political science from Stern College in New York
City, Amanda set out to find work but soon realized a career in
Poli/Sci wasn’t for her. Amanda knew she loved to read and write
and thought writing and editing for a magazine might be a better
fit. She began interviewing for various magazines and in 2006 was
hired by Pilates Style as their assistant managing editor. Two
years later, Amanda was basically running the show from crafting
the editorial lineup for each issue to editing and writing
exercise stories and features to organizing the magazine’s
massive 3-day photo shoots where they’d shoot content for almost
the entire year.
