  • An avid reader from childhood, his book collection has grown to include several antiques older than the country he lives in, as well as some he helped edit.

Experience

A trained biologist, Simon discovered his scientist’s tendencies towards order and detail were perfect traits for an editor. He started off lightly with the master’s thesis of a friend in anthropology during college, and he has now assisted with the production of several non-fiction books. He began writing for Grunge in 2021 and moved to editing in 2022.

Education

Simon holds a bachelor's in molecular and cellular biology from the University of Kent at Canterbury, and still regularly attends public lectures on cosmology and ancient history.
