Michael Zelig Castleman (born February 2, 1950) is an award-winning American journalist based in San Francisco, who specializes in health and sexuality. During a 35-year-career, he has published 15 nonfiction books and over 3,000 magazine and Web articles. His nonfiction titles have more than 2.5 million copies in print. As a novelist, he has written 4 murder mysteries set in San Francisco that deal, in part, with the city’s rich history.

Castleman’s 19th book, "The Untold Story of Books: A Writer's History of Publishing," was released in 2024. It’s the first history of publishing from an author’s point of view. It chronicles the evolution of book publishing from Gutenberg to Amazon, with special emphasis on the transition from 20th-century industrial publishing to digital publishing in the 21st, and its impact on publishers, distributors, booksellers, and especially authors. Publishers Weekly called it “fascinating … sweeping … rousing account.".[1]
