Sander Hicks [sanderhicksdotcom@gmail.com]’s Summary

Sander Hicks is a serial entrepreneur, an author, and a media activist. He started "Vox Pop" the place for "Books, Coffee, Democracy." Vox Pop is a vibrant, fair-trade, community-empowering, consciousness-raising coffee house. In his 4.5 years there, Vox Pop spawned new activist groups, redefined "community development", and published a muck-raking tabloid, The New York Megaphone.

In 1996, he founded Soft Skull Press, Inc. (acquired in 2007 by Winton & Shoemaker). In 2003, Hicks was central to the story captured in "Horns and Halos" (HBO/Cinemax) the independent publishing documentary. This award-winning film recorded Hicks’s attempts to publish unpopular truths out about G.W.Bush, with the biography "Fortunate Son" (Soft Skull, 1999). His own book, "The Big Wedding" (Vox Pop, 2005) exposed the Bush/Cheney 9/11 cover-up, using original sources and a deep understanding of recent history. Hicks has reported for Alternet, GNN, Long Island Press, New York Press, and INN World Report Television (Dish Network).

Hicks has worked on Wall Street and at Kinko's, as a playwright for Playwrights Horizons, and has been a member of New Dramatists. In 2006, he was elected to lead the Cortelyou Road Merchants Association, in Flatbush, Brooklyn. That same year he was a US Senate candidate from the Green Party.
