I write fiction and journalism and publish two Substacks:

• How to govern [not like that], about political and corporate governance
• Don Nordberg (is/on) writing, reviews of novels, films, long-format television and how philosophy and fiction collide.

Born in Chicago, I’ve worked in newspapers and for a long time as a correspondent and editorial executive for Reuters, in Britain, Germany, Switzerland and the US. As a consultant, I’ve advised information businesses on strategy and then moved into academic life, teaching management, governance, and financial journalism, while reading fiction of all sorts, all the time. 

Along the way, I’ve published two books on corporate governance, dozens of academic articles and chapters in edited volumes, and tons of journalism. I’ve written a couple of novels and two PhDs – one in management studies, the other in creative writing. 

I also convene the Dorset local group for the Society of Authors and lend a hand with the Sturminster Newton Literary Festival.
