Ishan Desai-Geller – Editor

At its core, my work as an editor—informed by my graduate study in political theory—is focused on helping scholars, journalists, activists, and other specialists translate and distill their expertise into serious works of nonfiction accessible to a general trade audience.

My role as an editor is to be an author's first reader and most zealous advocate. Above all else, my goal is to help authors create the strongest possible versions of their projects. In the world of political nonfiction, this work entails close attention to honing arguments and shaping narrative structure to ensure that each book is well-positioned to make an effective and meaningful intervention into contemporary conversations and debates.
