About Steven Weinberg

Steven Weinberg is a writer, illustrator, and painter in the Catskill Mountains of New York. His work has appeared everywhere from books to beer cans to the Smithsonian.

His books have been called “brilliant” by Dave Pilkey, "a stunning achievement, inducing justified awe" by Kirkus, "thrillingly shameless" by the New York Times, and have won awards and distinctions such as the Virginia Reader’s Choice Award (YOU MUST BE THIS TALL), YALSA Reader’s Choice (TO TIMBUKTU), the Junior Library Guild Gold Standard Selection (ASTRONUTS: MISSION ONE and THE MIDDLE KID), The Today Show’s Holiday Pick (BIG JOB SERIES), and an ALA Notable Book (WHAT IS COLOR?).

The fish have been featured on the cover of Thomas McGuane’s fly fishing classic THE LONGEST SILENCE, on West Kill Brewing’s “Brookie” lager, on brands like Filson and Quaker Marine, and are on display at Jimmy Kimmel’s fishing resort The South Fork Lodge.

Steven and his wife, Casey Scieszka, also own and operate The Spruceton Inn: a Catskills Bed and Bar. Their annual artist residency hosts world-renowned painters, bestselling authors, and Pulitzer Prize and National Book Award finalists.
