Hello.

As the domain suggests, you’ve landed on the personal website for John Tayman, author, editor, and occasional publisher.

I’ve written one bestseller, founded two award-winning startups, launched six magazines, been nominated for twenty National Magazine Awards, and published three dozen bestsellers by authors such as Jon Krakauer, Amy Tan, Sebastian Junger, Carl Hiaasen, Margaret Atwood, and Nick Hornby. For a deeper dive on those numbers, please see the About page.

I’m currently working on The Wanted, a narrative history of the FBI’s Ten Most Wanted Fugitives program, to be published by Crown.

If you’d like to chat, please try the Contact page, or ping me on Twitter or Threads.
