Simon Welfare

Literary Agent: Eugenie Furniss

After a long career in television, Simon reluctantly accepts that he can be described as a ‘veteran’ television producer, although the success of his programmes, including the Mysterious World series with the science writer Arthur C. Clarke and Interview with a Zombie, has shown how well he is in tune with the child in everyone.

His books range from a history of Soviet Russia to a compilation of honeymoon disaster stories, which, he is proud to say, topped the ‘most-borrowed’ chart of Dartmoor Prison’s library. With Fortune's Many Houses (Atria) he turned to biography.
