Hi, I'm Jimmy Guterman. I have edited or written for more than 100 magazines, newsletters, and newspapers, some of which are still in existence. I have published six books about rock’n’roll, some of which are still in print. I have produced several dozen records, some of which I was paid for. I have consulted for many companies, none of which I will joke about. On this website, you can find out more about me than you’d ever want to know.
Current ActivitiesI'm editorial director of the Radar Group at O'Reilly Media, where I edit Release 2.0, among other things. I am editor at large for Harvard Business School Publishing. I am the producer of The Sandinista Project, which, to my great delight and surprise, is out (the double CD and deluxe packaging is a mere $18.98 on Amazon). If you're here because you're looking for editorial development, management, production, and consulting, my business, The Vineyard Group, is not now accepting new clients, either in the traditional or new media practices. guterman.com is my personal site.Some older projects I get asked aboutForrester Magazine

Semi-Recent WritingMy blog is moving and will be back in June. I contribute regularly to the O'Reilly Radar. I muse about innovation, business, and two of my favorite projects in this AllThingsD column. I've been asked to post my editor's columns for the three issues of Forrester, which I've done here ("A Magazine?), here ("Power to the People"), and here ("Same as The Old Boss"), all in Acrobat format. I don't do much periodical work anymore. I had a piece in FORTUNE about mobile phones on commercial airplanes. Finally out, a mere four years after I wrote the liner notes for it, is Wallace Shawn's The Fever. You can also read a not-bad 2005 op-ed piece for The Boston Globe and an Astral Weeks essay for HeadButler.com. A while back I was part of a team asked to figure out how to save a particular dot-com magazine. An assignment to profile Bob Moog turned, alas, into an obituary. I post regular Sandinista Project updates. Much of my writing now is for books that won't be available for a long, long time. You can see a photo of me here.
