Writer's picture: Indies UnitedIndies United

Indies United welcomes Steve Looten to our publishing house family. Steve's journey to authorship is a fascinating one, a testament to the enduring power of storytelling and the unexpected paths life can take.


For over two decades, Steve captivated audiences as a local TV sports anchor, crafting compelling 3-4 minute narratives about the triumphs and strategies of local champions at KTVO-TV, KHQA-TV, and WGEM-TV. His engaging style and knack for highlighting winning moments earned him induction into the Illinois Basketball Coaches Hall of Fame – a truly remarkable achievement!


After 20 years in the spotlight, Steve traded the television studio for the "real world," embarking on a successful career in a different field. But the pull of storytelling proved too strong. In 2024, Steve returned to his first love, rejoining WGEM-TV in Quincy, IL, where he once again shared his gift for captivating audiences. He found that while the technology and his colleagues may have changed, the power of a good story remained timeless.


Now retired, Steve's passion for strategy led him to follow the 2024 Presidential race, recognizing parallels between the political arena and the world of sports. This fascination, coupled with his years of experience chronicling victories, culminated in his first book, Be A Great One.


Be A Great One represents a new chapter in Steve's already impressive career. It’s a testament to his determination and his belief in the power of pursuing passions, no matter the age or circumstances.


Welcome to the Indies United family, Steve!
