The Wikipedia-inspired novel is now available wherever books are sold.

When I first started covering the world of Wikipedia and internet knowledge back in 2018, I had no idea where the journey would take me.

There was honestly no plan. I followed my curiosity and tried pitching interesting stories about the well-known internet encyclopedia.

The rising concern over online misinformation opened some doors. And I got lucky, especially when I was given a chance to write a column on the subject for Slate.

I loved writing these news articles, but I also knew I wanted to write something longer. Writing a nonfiction book seemed like the most logical choice.

But there was a problem. A persistent voice in the back of my mind kept saying, “No, no, no! It’s a suspense novel.”

I heeded that voice in 2020 when I began writing my thriller inspired by Wikipedia and its contributors.

After years of writing and reporting, I’m so happy to finally share this story with you. I have worked harder on this than any other creative project in my life. And I’m very proud of how The Editors turned out.

Early readers have said The Editors is “strikingly relevant,” “thoroughly enjoyable,” and “highly recommended.”

Today, The Editors is available wherever books are sold. Now grab your copy and dive in — I know this story is going to stick with you.

Order THE EDITORS on Amazon or Bookshop.org
