Jon Steinhagen

Jon Steinhagen lives in what is known (somewhat affectionately) as The Chicagoland Area, near the historic Brookfield Zoo. His writing career began in theatre, first as a composer and lyricist for several musicals (including The Arresting Dilemma of Mr. K, a musical adaptation of Kafka’s The Trial), then as resident playwright at Chicago Dramatists. Somewhere along the way he began writing stories, too, and many are collected in The Big Book of Sounds (Black Lawrence Press).
