I am Simon Worrall, a writer and journalist whose storytelling has taken me from Eritrea and Paris to Singapore and beyond. I've authored three critically acclaimed books, including The Poet and the Murderer and The Very White of Love, and I love turning complex histories into gripping, human-scale narratives. Over the years I've written for National Geographic, Smithsonian, The Guardian, The New Yorker, and many other outlets, interviewing people, tracing art heists, and exploring culture through travel and history. I'm fluent in several languages and comfortable in interview settings, whether I'm chasing a scoop or sharing a quiet, personal story.
