About the Editor

Prior to joining Simon & Schuster, Jason Pinter was the Founder and Publisher of the independent press Polis Books and its imprint, Agora. At Polis he published many acclaimed books, including Children of Chicago by Cynthia Pelayo, the Pete Fernandez series by Alex Segura, Both Sides by Gabino Iglesias, Three-Fifths by John Vercher, Dark Chapter by Winnie M Li, the Lily Wong series by Tori Eldridge, the Ash McKenna series by Rob Hart, Miraculum by Steph Post, Saint Mick by Mick Foley, and more. He has held editorial positions at Warner Books, Crown Publishers, and St. Martin’s Press, and marketing at Grove/Atlantic. As an author, he published the bestselling Henry Parker and Rachel Marin series, the speculative thriller Past Crimes, as well as Dating & Dismemberment and The Reaper’s Son under the name A.L. Brody.

In fiction, Jason is looking for thriller/suspense/mystery, all sub-genres of romance, romantasy, horror, science fiction, high and low fantasy, and LitRPG. In non-fiction, he is looking for memoir, health and wellness, spirituality, and true crime from authors with engaged audiences. But most of all, he loves being so surprised and engaged by a book that it makes him miss his bus stop (yes, this has happened. More than once).
