Peter Smith

Peter Smith is Cue Ball’s Author in Residence. A former Contributing Editor at O the Oprah Magazine, he is a journalist, novelist and writer who has been involved to date with 10 New York Times bestsellers, on subjects including business, music, sports and celebrity memoir. He has done communications for the World Economic Forum, and his non-fiction and fiction have appeared in the New Yorker, New York Times, New York Times Magazine, New York Times Sophisticated Traveler, New York, Harper’s Bazaar, Fast Company, amongst others.

As a retained resource available to the firm’s portfolio businesses, Peter believes that instead of making writing extinct, the web highlights how rare and critical it is—and works with founders to help uncover and hone the best approach, ideas, voice, sensibility, spirit and language to communicate their overall goals and purpose. A graduate of Milton Academy and Columbia University, he lives in Needham, MA.
