About Brad Tuttle

Brad Tuttle is a contributing editor at Budget Travel, where he was a staffer for six years. His most recent full-time gig was as a senior editor at the Disney-owned parenting magazine Wondertime, one of the many print outlets that kicked the bucket in early 2009. As a freelance writer, his work has appeared in The New York Times, Newsweek, Newsday, and American History, among other publications. He is the author of two books: The Ellis Island Collection: Artifacts from the Immigrant Experience (Chronicle Books, 2004), and a gritty narrative history of urban America entitled How Newark Became Newark: The Rise, Fall, and Rebirth of an American City (Rutgers University Press, 2009). He lives in Massachusetts with his wife Jessica and their three sons, and he desperately hangs onto every dollar that comes his way. Read more about him at bradrtuttle.com.
