Sander Hicks (born February 1, 1971) is the founder of Soft Skull Press, and Vox Pop Inc. Raised in the DC area, he is the son of Norman Hicks, a former World Bank economist who was an initial investor in his publishing business and his cafe.[1] Sander attended Bishop Ireton High School, where he graduated with honors. He later transferred from James Madison University to Eugene Lang College, of New School University in New York City.
Hicks has worked as a playwright, editor, carpenter, and journalist. He was a producer and interviewer for the television program INN World Report and has been covered in CounterPunch.[2]
In 1999, Soft Skull Press won awards for "Outstanding Independent Publisher of the Year" when Hicks was at the helm. The award followed Hicks's acquisition and publication of the controversial Bush biography Fortunate Son, by James Hatfield. Hicks, Hatfield, and Soft Skull Press enjoyed positive media coverage in Newsweek, 60 Minutes, Court TV, and the Washington Post. Hicks was accused by one article in the New York Press of not paying his authors during this time, but no authors went on the record with these allegations.
9/11 truth and a Senate campaign[edit]
In his journalism and his 2005 book The Big Wedding: 9/11, the Whistle-Blowers, and the Cover-Up, Hicks levies questions about the official account of the September 11th attacks. Hicks reviewed the 9/11 Commission report, critically, for the New York Press.
He sought election as the United States Senator from New York in the 2006 election. He ran as a member of the Green Party, challenging incumbent Hillary Clinton. He lost the Green Party nomination to Howie Hawkins, but later served the Hawkins campaign as media director.
