Thesis

Overview

Founded in 2022, Thesis publishes thoughtful, idea-driven nonfiction that challenges intellectual orthodoxies and defies easy categorization. Our mission is to build a list of distinctive, provocative works that will stand the test of time—books that not only participate in today’s most important debates but help shape tomorrow’s conversations.

Our catalog features New York Times bestsellers and critically acclaimed works that advance crucial conversations on democracy, identity, technology, psychology, gender, sexuality, medicine, education, urban planning, energy, and culture. Our books attract intellectually curious readers who value stimulating encounters with challenging ideas and approach complex issues with nuance rather than partisan reflex.

We actively seek out authors who own their ideas in public and offer perspectives that cut across conventional political and cultural divides. Thesis authors past and future include Coleman Hughes, Nellie Bowles, Laila Mickelwait, Sharon McMahon, Michael Morris, Dr. Suzanne O’Sullivan, Sarah Schulman, Helen Lewis, Isabelle Boemeke, Paul Kingsnorth, Sarah Goodyear, Doug Gordon, Randi Weingarten, Diana Fleischman, Hélène Landemore, Julie Beck, Peter Gray, Heather Heying, and Elizabeth Loftus.
