John Steinberg

I spent many years in business before turning my hand to writing. If you don’t at least attempt a change of careers then you can go through life not knowing what you might be capable of...

I was born in 1952 and raised in North London and still live in the city with my wife and three children. I was privately educated and left school after ‘A’ levels and completed a business diploma in what is now the University of Westminster, before entering banking.

I started training as an accountant but did not complete the course, choosing a position in my family’s furniture manufacturing business instead. I started his own mergers and acquisitions business in 1987, which I ran for almost 20 years before quitting to become a full time writer in 2007.

I have also co-written and produced comedies for the stage and has created a series of books for children.

Previously, I had only been interested in comedy and finally started to write down the things I said or thought of. That led me to co-write and produce a play, In the Balance, and then W for Banker – which appeared at the New End Theatre, Hampstead. It was then I decided to quit the world of business in favour of writing full-time, and move toward more serious subjects. My first novel took two years to write and is the first in a series of books I am calling the ‘Steinberg Stories’ and was followed by Blue Skies Over Berlin in 2017 and Nadine in 2019.
