Madhulika Sikka is Vice President and Executive Editor at Crown. She joined Crown in 2020 after an award-winning career in journalism across all platforms, holding leadership positions at major news outlets including ABC News, NPR, and the Washington Post. She is interested in a broad range of memoir, reported narrative nonfiction, and even some humor. Her list includes the New York Times bestseller and NAACP Image Award winner Scenes from My Life by the late actor Michael K. Williams, New York Times bestseller Grown Woman Talk by Dr. Sharon Malone, PEN/Galbraith finalist Zara Chowdhary, author of The Lucky Ones: A Memoir. Her forthcoming titles include Letter from Japan by Marie Kondo and Sea Change: America’s New Great Game in the Arctic Circle by FT columnist Rana Faroohar.  She’s interested in elevating stories that open the aperture of how we look at the world and how we engage with one another. She is herself a Crown author of A Breast Cancer Alphabet (2014), so she can empathize with all her authors about the challenge of bringing a book into the world.
