In 1978, he joined Associated Newspapers where he served as associate editor and staff writer at Esquire magazine. At the magazine, Copetas worked with writers such as Graham Greene, Norman Mailer, Hunter Thompson, William Buckley, James Baldwin, Anthony Haden Guest and Jesse Kornbluth. His fellow editors included Peter W. Kaplan, Marilyn Johnson, Rob Fleder and Dominique Browning. They were the last group to be trained and mentored by those who had edited the likes of Hemingway, Fitzgerald and Wolfe. That group included Arnold Gingrich, Harold Hayes, Byron Dobell, Rust Hills and Don Erickson.
