Neil Simpson is one of Britain's most prolific ghost-writers and celebrity biographers. Born in England in 1966 he has a degree in English and Film Studies from the University of Stirling and the University of California, Berkeley. He has been an award-winning journalist and a section editor on the Daily Mirror, Sunday Telegraph and Mail on Sunday and has written regularly for the Daily Star and many consumer magazines. Now he concentrates on helping people get their thoughts on paper and turning their life stories into Sunday Times Top Ten best-selling autobiographies.

He took on his first ghost-writing commission in 1998 when he was asked to help a millionaire businessman produce a unique self-help book. Since then he has written with sports players, pop stars, reality television personalities, high achievers and increasing numbers of 'ordinary' people who have lived extraordinary lives. He is happy to remain in the background when books are published and never betrays a co-author's confidence.

He lives in London and is always happy to hear from show-business agents, public relations staff and interesting individuals who want to produce great books.
