Best known for his acclaimed DI Ryan Wilkins mysteries, set locally in Oxford, as well as his sharp and engaging YA crime series featuring the unforgettable Garvie Smith, Simon brings a wealth of storytelling experience to the stage. A former Managing Director of David Fickling Books, where he worked with leading writers such as Philip Pullman, he offers a unique insider’s perspective on the world of publishing alongside his own creative practice. Insightful, entertaining and rich with behind-the-scenes anecdotes, this event is a must for crime fiction fans and aspiring writers alike.
