Simon Cheshire hated school and, on the whole, school wasn’t
too keen on him either. He had a successful career in book marketing
until leaving the publishing industry in 2001 to write full time.
“I was writing with the intention of getting published
since I was a teenager and was turning out a steady stream of
utter rubbish until I turned thirty. At that point I finally accepted
that my mental age would never exceed ten, turned to children’s
stories and at last found my natural habitat.”
Simon’s new books are a solve-it series called Saxby Smart. Find more about
them here. He has also written three
stand-alone titles for Piccadilly Press – Kissing Vanessa, Plastic
Fantastic, and The Prince and The Snowgirl.
He sometimes frequents schools and literary festivals – check out his availability here.
He also runs fun and fascinating workshops on detective writing – if you'd like him to come and liven up your day at your school, click here.
