Simon King is the author of over 30 books across five different series, including the Sam Rader series, the non-fiction Prison Days series, and the MAX series. 

Before he became an author, Simon worked in a maximum-security prison in Australia, and he only published his first book in 2018.

In this episode, Simon explains how he went from working a demanding day job, working nights and shifts, to publishing up to 12 books a year over three years.

Simon also believes that it’s essential to set a clear target for how much you want to write every day. He set a target to write 3,000 words every day no matter what, and he explains what that did for his writing career.

In this episode we discuss:

  • How his job as a prison officer helped with his writing
  • Having an ideal reader in mind
  • Starting with the end 
  • Moving from writing non-fiction to fiction
  • Strategies Simon uses to promote his books
  • Deciding on the length of a book
