Portrait of Simon Doyle

About Simon

Simon Doyle was born and raised in Ireland. When he won a local poetry competition at the age of nine, it sparked a lifetime love of words (but he swears never to write poetry again).

He has lived in Ireland as well as England and, for a brief time, the United States. His accent is a mess.

He now lives on the west of Ireland with an extremely neurotic border collie, and Lucas, his human soulmate. They got married in 2022.

Simon was one of the principle founders of Scryla for Authors , a novel plotting tool aimed specifically at long-form fiction writers.
