This holiday season, give the gift of sunken gold and silver. 02 Nov 2026 Whoa! NEPTUNE’S FORTUNE has just been picked as one of Barnes & Noble’s best books of 2026! As soon as I heard I drove by my local B&N in Scarsdale and expected trumpets and confetti to greet my arrival. What I found was almost as good: my book nestled among some of my favorite books of the year, including Patrick Keefe’s LONDON FALLING and Ben McIntyre’s REDWOOD, which was also edited by my beloved editor at Crown, Kevin Doughten. I was also delighted to find customers actually browsing and buying books and defying all the premature declarations of the death of reading. So thank you to B&N’s incredible booksellers! @barnesandnoble @bneastchester 23 Oct 2026 RIP to a beautiful and brilliant man. The great Wayne Lawson. Never met anyone like him. And I’ll miss him terribly. @vanityfair @m1keh0gan @justbish @jsancton 25 Sep 2026 Kicking off Festival Friday with @jsancton, author of “Neptune’s Fortune” talking with co-chair of the Nantucket Book Festival @saradivello. 12 Jun 2026 If there’s one book that’s responsible for my nautical predilections, it’s Edgar Allan Poe’s only novel, THE NARRATIVE OF ARTHUR GORDON PYM OF NANTUCKET. So I’m thrilled to be going to the place where it all (fictionally) started to discuss my new book NEPTUNE’S FORTUNE. Join me @nantucketbookfestival on Friday, June 12th at 9am at The Methodist Church located at 2 Centre Street. I will be in conversation with @saradivello about my book “Neptune’s Fortune.” To view the full schedule of events for the 15thannual Nantucket Book Festival, visit nantucketbookfestival.org. 04 Jun 2026 $1 billion in gold and silver. 300 years underwater. One man who wouldn't stop looking. Join us this Saturday at 2:00 p.m. for a talk with Julian Sancton, New York Times bestselling author of "Neptune's Fortune: the Billion Dollar Shipwreck and the Ghosts of the Spanish Empire", to hear about the legendary Spanish galleon that became the Holy Grail of Shipwrecks, and the decades-long quest that finally brought it to light. This program is free for Museum Members and included with general admission.

THR's Senior Features Editor Julian Sancton, who also happens to be an author himself, opened up about why writers are the ideal marks for swindlers promising fortune and glory.⁠ ⁠ Read more about this story and others surrounding the hot topic of AI in THR's AI Issue at the link in bio. 04 May 2026 The next episode of ALWAYS AUTHORS features a fantastic conversation between NYT bestselling authors Julian Sancton and Hampton Sides! And it just went live a few hours early on all major podcast platforms “Terrible Tales of Woe and Shipwreck” These two NYT bestselling authors write superbly researched books about extraordinary historical events. You’ll hear what they love about the writing process and what is described as “going into the pain cave,” the art of creating memorable book titles, how ice shudders and shrieks, the helpful vs. nefarious uses of AI and what human writers can do that AI can’t, and how writing in loud coffee shops is ideal (until the staff forgets about you and locks you in one of them overnight). You might even hear about advice from historian Shelby Foote and what he meant by the comment “like green beans in a pressure cooker.” Julian Sancton is a New York Times bestselling author and accomplished journalist known for his narrative nonfiction, including Madhouse at the End of the Earth: The Belgica’s Journey into the Dark Antarctic Night, and his most recent release Neptune’s Fortune: The Billion-Dollar Shipwreck and the Ghosts of the Spanish Empire. He is a senior features editor at The Hollywood Reporter and has contributed to Vanity Fair, The New Yorker, Esquire, GQ, and Wired. He has reported from every continent, including Antarctica. Hampton Sides is a New York Times bestselling author, best-known for his gripping, non-fiction works that focus on classic episodes from American history, stories often set in war or depicting epic adventures of survival, exploration, or first contact between disparate worlds. He’s the author of the acclaimed bestselling narrative histories Ghost Soldiers, Blood and Thunder, Hellhound On His Trail, In the Kingdom of Ice, On Desperate Ground, and, most recently, The Wide Wide Sea: Imperial Ambition, First Contact, and the Fateful Final Voyage of Captain James Cook. Hampton has been a contributor to Outside, National Geographic, Smithsonian, The New Yorker, The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, and many other publications. #books #nonfictionbooks #nonfictionreads #podcasts #historylovers 27 Apr 2026 Celebrating Earth Day today — The Hollywood Reporter's annual Sustainability Issue is out now, featuring my piece on eco-friendly productions like You, Me & Tuscany and Dune: Prophecy.
