Steven Jankowski was born and raised in The Bronx, NY and spent most of his adult life hustling a living in the entertainment business. He spent the first ten years out of high school working as a stagehand in the 1970’s NYC Rock & Roll music scene, and on the road as a band roadie and road manager. In the mid-8o’s he returned to school to study film at Hunter College, and then moved to Los Angeles to earn his MFA in Screenwriting at USC. Since then Steve has written or co-written over 30 screenplays with nine of them having been produced.

In the spring of 1999, Steve took a sabbatical from work to sail a 42-foot boat from Los Angeles to Tahiti with 3 other people. Steve continues to write for the screen and sails his 34-foot Catalina sailboat whenever he can.

BELOW THE LINE marks Steven’s first foray into fiction writing and draws from his many years of experience in the film and music industries, as well as his love of sailing. Steven currently resides in the Los Angeles port city of San Pedro, CA.
