Ian Straus, Editor

Ian Straus joined Simon & Schuster as an editor in 2023. Prior to that, he helped launch the Spark imprint at Little, Brown and Company, where he worked with authors like Daniel Kahneman, Nicholas Christakis, Edward Slingerland, Harriet Washington, and Ben Montgomery. He publishes a wide range of non-fiction in categories including science, psychology, history, current events, and memoir, and he is especially enthusiastic about books in those categories that blend a great story with a provocative argument or a new idea. Recent and forthcoming titles at Simon & Schuster include The Price of Power by Michael Tackett, Fat Leonard by Craig Whitlock, How to Sell Out by Chad Sanders, and The Joy of Solitude by Robert J. Coplan, PhD.
