Simon James Green
Simon James Green grew up in a small town in Lincolnshire that definitely wasn’t the inspiration for Little Fobbing – so no-one from there can be mad with him, OK? He enjoyed a classic British education of assorted humiliations and barbaric PE lessons before reading Law at Queens’ College, Cambridge, where he further embarrassed himself by accidentally joining the rowing team despite having no upper body strength and not being able swim. When it turned out that being a lawyer was nothing like how it looks in Suits or The Good Wife, and buoyed by the success of his late night comedy show that involved an inflatable sheep, he travelled to London to pursue a glamorous career in show business. Within weeks he was working in a call centre, had b

Sophie Jomain
Sophie tient à peine sur ses pieds quand elle apprend qu’être bavard n’est pas le privilège des grands. Elle utilise les mots et récite des poésies toutes aussi insolites les unes que les autres, sans toujours en comprendre le sens, mais ça fait son petit effet. C’est sûrement à ce moment-là qu’elle est atteinte du virus de l’expression, d’abord au micro dans le brouhaha d’un piano-bar (le jazz, son premier grand coup de cœur), et longtemps après, avec quelques cinq cents pages d’un livre bien épais.

Susan Ewing
My two greatest joys as a kid were riding my bike and reading books. Both offered escape and adventure—my bike took me flying out into the physical world, while books were the bridge to an inner world of emotion and ideas. I came to writing as way to hold the physical world like a bird in my hands, so I could see more clearly, feel more deeply, and understand more completely. And because in those moments when writing works, it’s magic.
