You’ve dropped into the website of Australian author Simon Brown. I spend most of my productive time writing speculative fiction, but occasionally write articles for this blog or for other people’s books or websites. Now and then I also do some freelance editing.

Between 2013 and 2015 I did casual work as a journalist with Nowra’s local paper, the South Coast Register, and between 2016 and 2017 worked as a senior communications officer with UnitingCare Australia. Between 2018 and June 2021 I lived in Johannesburg, South Africa, with my wife Alison, an amazing teacher who works in international education.

From July 2021 I’ve been shifting between Canberra, Townsville and Vientiane, Laos, working on a couple of books and writing ‘List’ reviews for a media site called Collider.

From July 2023, Alison and I hope to be back in Australia, possibly … maybe … for good.

Enjoy your stay. Comments and feedback are welcome.
