Life’s Work: An Interview with Danielle Steel

Working on an old Olympia typewriter that she’s had since the start of her career, Steel has written 170 novels (as well as nonfiction and children’s books). Her debut—Going Home—was published when the first of her nine children was a toddler, and she completed many of the rest while her kids were at school or sleeping, often juggling multiple drafts of different books at once. Her latest is Flying Angels. The best-selling author attributes her popularity to being able to write honestly about “the things that hurt us or scare us” while always giving her characters “safe harbor” and her readers “a sense of hope.”

A version of this article appeared in the November–December 2021 issue of Harvard Business Review.

The life of Danielle Steel, an enormously popular author throughout the 1980s and 1990s, has developed like the plot of one of her novels. As the only child of wealthy parents, Steel was born in 1947 in New York, New York. She lived with her father after her parents divorced when she was seven but had what she describes as a lonely childhood, with most nurturing coming from relatives and servants.
