Overview
I have worked in the publishing and media industries for the past twenty years, with organisations including Channel Four, Access Hollywood, Canongate, Random House and HarperCollins as well as private clients.I have written and ghosted many books in different genres including fiction, celebrity, humour, sports, language, food and drink, adventure and business. My services cover everything from editorial advice to overseeing a book from inception to publication. I respond quickly and honestly to requests for information about timescales, costs and scope of the work as I know that a positive ghostwriting experience begins with the establishment of trust and empathy. Good communication is vital throughout the process, it must be an enjoyable experience for both parties.'A writer with a fabulous eye for oddity, and such an ear for the cadences of talk.' - Tessa Hadley, novelist.‘I’d recommend Simon to anyone thinking of writing a book. Get him to do it instead – it’s easier.’ – James May, television presenter.
