After a 34-year editorial career at Zondervan, John Sloan, senior executive editor, has announced his plan to retire, effective December 15, 2017.
Sloan has been a key figure at Zondervan, acquiring and personally editing hundreds of books that have fostered spiritual growth, compelled readers to Christ, and changed lives. John has played a vital role in helping authors create bestselling content in books like What's So Amazing about Grace by Philip Yancey, The Case for Christ by Lee Strobel, Sacred Marriage by Gary Thomas, The Circle Maker by Mark Batterson, and many others.
