Megan Hogan, Senior Editor

Megan Hogan is looking for narrative and idea-driven nonfiction, especially investigative journalism, science and nature, (pop) culture, memoir, overlooked and revisionist history, and a smattering of self-help.

She’s particularly drawn to hopeful books for anxious times as well as to books with real bearing on how we live our lives, as individuals and societies. She has a particular soft spot for gorgeous literary writing, projects looking to fuck a little with the system, and tales from the American West.  
‍
Past publications include the New York Times bestsellers Mailman by Stephen Starring Grant, Your Fellow Americans by Peter Santenello, and The Fourth Turning Is Here by Neil Howe, as well as the national bestseller Why Fish Don’t Exist by Lulu Miller and Eve Fairbanks’s The Inheritors, winner of the PEN/John Kenneth Galbraith Award for Nonfiction. Authors she works with have won the Pulitzer Prize, the National Book Award, and the MacArthur Genius Grant.

Her forthcoming projects explore a women’s commune in Lonesome Dove era Texas, the journey of the psalms across three faiths and three-and-a-half millennia, the shitty boyfriends of Western literature, and the quest to find the perfect pet.

A graduate of Princeton University, Megan joined Simon & Schuster in 2014, after starting her career at a translation agency in Paris.
