For over twenty years, Sean Hotchkiss has been speaking to, writing for, and working directly with men.

His career began in New York as a fashion journalist for GQ, where he doled out older brother-like advice to guys on how to “look sharp and live smart.” That gig became a full-time freelance beat writing for Esquire, Men’s Health, Men’s Journal, The Wall Street Journal, Cereal, Valet and Condé Nast Traveler, among other publications.

In 2015, after a difficult breakup took him into the depths of himself, Sean began a ten year journey into his shadow, into his father’s early death and into the intergenerational wounds that plague so many Western men. His explorations brought him to Los Angeles, where he became a men’s coach and facilitator; leading men’s groups, retreats and guiding dozens of 1:1 clients through initiatory and rites of passage work. His coaching and mentoring also inspired a book; Hating Women: A Memoir of Male Rage and Recovery, which will be published by Simon & Schuster in July of 2026.

Originally from Maine, Sean now lives in the Hudson Valley. He’s available for interviews, speaking engagements and other media opportunities, here. You can read and follow along with his Substack, here.
