Simon Linter Short Biography

I have been writing stories as long as I can remember. When I was around 7 years old, I wrote a short story called Signs in the Jungle, and was on my way to writing my first book Monster from Mars by age 9.

I starting working for local newspapers in 1994 and have worked mostly within the media sector.

To date, I have written two full length novels, one nonfiction book, a book of short stories, and been featured in short story anthologies as well as having some poetry published.

I am currently working on my next novel and write poetry when my prose fails me.

What were the pitfalls of writing A Decade in Sweden and Making Headlines and how can these pitfalls be avoided?

I aimed for A Decade in Sweden to be released on the 23rd November 2013 because that would have been exactly ten years to the day that I moved from the UK to Sweden. However, as the book wasn’t near completion near the deadline, I rushed to get it finished. This caused a number of mistakes to be made including not fully proofreading the finished manuscript, not obtaining my own ISBN, etc. The same can be said of Making Headlines although I didn’t impose a deadline on that project. The mistakes made in that book were just caused through complacency. These books were always going to be experimental in terms of me gaining experience in releasing books into the cosmos. In this respect, I gained a lot of valuable experience and learnt a lot of lessons. As an editor said to me: “you have to slow down a bit”, and I have taken this advice on-board and am more vigilant going forwards with new projects.
