I’m a freelance writer with bylines at The Awl, Bloomberg Businessweek, Mother Jones, The Nation, The New Yorker, The New York Times, The San Francisco Chronicle, Slate, and The Washington Post. My first book, "Brazillionaires," will be out from Random House (via the Spiegel & Grau imprint) in July 2016.Going farther back: I grew up in Albuquerque, New Mexico. After graduating from Sarah Lawrence College (class of ’05), I worked for a while in book publishing in New York before moving to Bogotá to become a journalist. In 2010 I moved to São Paulo, where I spent a couple of years covering the ultra-rich as a full-time job at Bloomberg News. My book, which is about Brazil and its billionaires, grew from that experience. I just recently moved back to New York.Also, I tweet a lot at @alexcuadros.
