About Us

The Steinberg Agency, Inc. is a full-service literary agency formed in the fall of 2007 by Peter Steinberg. Peter worked for eleven years as a literary agent at a number of high profile boutique literary agencies, including Donadio & Olson and Regal Literary before forming his own company. Peter’s clients have been nominated for/awarded Edgars, Quills, The Pulitzer Prize, The Story Prize, The Paris Review Discovery Prize, Borders Original Voices and National Book Awards.

The Steinberg Agency works with its clients to maximize the potential of their stories at every step of the publishing process. The agency represents clients for their careers, not for a single work. Peter represents a broad range of novels and short story collections and the occasional YA title. His non-fiction interests include memoir, humor, biography, history, pop culture, fitness and narrative non-fiction.

Peter began his career as a filmmaker and screenwriter with a B.A. from New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts’ film school. He is a member of the Association of Authors’ Representatives.
