Steen Alexander

Steen Alexander is a pseudonym for Steen A. Nielsen, a novelist and publisher.

His aim is to write fiction across different genres, always with the focus on human dignity and emotional depth when people suddenly become confronted with tough or complex challenges.

His fields of interests are psychology and politics, language and history. More widely, he is socially active and teaches on a voluntary basis.

He is a linguist from the University of Copenhagen, a political scientist from Sciences Po and Sorbonne (Paris IV) and a Ph.D. from the London School of Economics, in International History (2000).
