In February, HarperCollins published Sommer’s book on QAnon, “Trust the Plan: The Rise of QAnon and the Conspiracy That Unhinged America.” In his [review](https://www.nytimes.com/2023/02/20/books/will-sommer-trust-the-plan-qanon.html?ref=capitolcommunicator.com), New York Times book critic **Dwight Garner** called Sommer “a media obsessive, almost morbidly well informed.”

Before working at the Daily Beast, he was a campaign editor at the Hill and the Loose Lips city hall columnist for Washington City Paper. Earlier in his career, he wrote DC Porcupine, a blog covering controversies at local D.C. media outlets.
