Foster Winans’s Biography

Fierce, fast reporter, journalist (WSJ, NYTimes), and editor with a keen instinct for the big story; a gimlet eye for detail and accuracy; and a knack for turning out tight, compelling copy on deadline.

After a decade as a staff reporter on local papers in New Jersey, Texas, Washington, and elsewhere, I landed at The Wall Street Journal as co-writer of the best-read stock market column in the world. "Heard On The Street" reached six million subscribers (print and wire) in the days before CNBC, Business Insider, etc. The book I wrote about my time at the Journal, Trading Secrets, was a business best-seller, a Book-of-the-Month Club selection, and the inspiration for Oliver Stone's film, Wall Street.

During the past two decades I wrote or ghosted more than 75 nonfiction books on a wide variety of subjects, including business, medicine, sports, law, white-collar crime, current affairs, international history.
