Edward Michaels is a Jewish author whose writing delves into identity, trauma, and the unrelenting pursuit of peace. Born in London and now based in Los Angeles, he offers a transatlantic lens shaped by deep cultural roots and a personal journey of transformation.
After a successful career as a hedge fund manager, Michaels underwent a profound shift following the events of October 7th. Leaving the world of finance behind, he turned to literature as a way to process, reflect, and contribute meaningfully to the evolving Jewish narrative.
His work centers on the modern Jewish experience—stories of resilience, memory, and the human struggle to find clarity and connection in times of chaos. With a voice that is introspective yet bold, Michaels writes to both honor the past and imagine a more hopeful future. His debut writings explore the fracture lines of conflict and the shared longing for peace in a divided world.
