SIMON COURTAULD

Simon Courtauld is a writer and journalist of the old school — precise, cultivated, and possessed of a range that takes in biography, history, travel, food, and the long life of British institutions. A former deputy editor of The Spectator and editor of The Field, he brings to everything he writes the standards of a journalist who has spent a career among the best.

His books include To Convey Intelligence: The Spectator 1928–1998, a definitive chronicle of one of Britain’s most celebrated magazines across seven decades; As I Was Going to St Ives: A Life of Derek Jackson, the biography of a brilliant and eccentric atomic physicist who distinguished himself in the RAF and lived a life of extraordinary colour; Lady of Spain: A Life of Jane Dormer, Duchess of Feria, a portrait of one of the most remarkable Englishwomen of the Tudor age; Food for Thought: Vegetables, Herbs and Fruit — A Culinary Tour of the English Garden; Spanish Hours; and Footprints in Spain, his most recent work, published in 2016.

Courtauld writes with the ease of a man who has spent a lifetime paying attention — to people, to places, to the texture of things. His books reward careful reading and repay return visits.

All titles are available on Amazon in Kindle, paperback, and hardcover.

Colonel Bob Stewart

Colonel The Right Honourable Bob Stewart DSO is a former British Army officer, author, broadcaster, and former Conservative Member of Parliament.

Educated in England, Stewart served for more than twenty years in the British Army, primarily with the Cheshire Regiment. He became internationally known during the Bosnian War in the early 1990s when he commanded British United Nations forces in central Bosnia, leading humanitarian and peacekeeping operations during one of Europe’s most brutal modern conflicts. For his leadership and gallantry he was awarded the Distinguished Service Order (DSO).

After leaving the Army, Stewart became a prominent commentator on defence and international affairs before entering Parliament in 2010 as MP for Beckenham. In 2020 he was appointed a Privy Counsellor.

Alongside his military and political career, Stewart has written and spoken extensively on leadership, conflict, war, and public service, drawing on firsthand experience from both the battlefield and Westminster.

The Writers Collective will be republishing his book broken lives on Kindle and audiobook and publishing his later memoirs later this year

OLGA PAVLOVA

Olga Pavlova writes from the heart of the Russian literary tradition — with warmth, depth, and an eye for the telling detail that transforms the particular into the universal. Her fiction carries the weight of a culture with an extraordinary storytelling heritage, and she brings to it a grace and precision that speaks across languages and borders.

Her collection Ice, Lies and Old Advice, co-authored with Quentin Drummond Anderson, brings together stories that move between the comic and the elegiac, the intimate and the expansive — a book that captures something true about the Russian experience and the universal human one.

All titles are available on Amazon in Kindle, paperback, and hardcover, and on audiobook from Spotify, Google Play Books, Apple Books, Barnes and Noble, Storytel, and Kobo Rakuten.

MICHAEL GREEN

Michael Green writes at the intersection of history, moral philosophy, and the darkest chapters of human behaviour — with the rigour of a scholar and the narrative instinct of a born storyteller.

His books include The Last Exit, Exodus of Evil, Ordinary Men, Extraordinary Evil, and Between the Pines — a body of work that confronts the mechanisms of violence, complicity, and conscience with unflinching clarity. Green does not look away from difficult material. He trusts his readers to face it with him. The result is writing of genuine moral weight.

All titles are available on Amazon in Kindle, paperback, and hardcover, and on audiobook from Spotify, Google Play Books, Apple Books, Barnes and Noble, Storytel, and Kobo Rakuten.

LUDO STUART-DOUGLAS

Ludo Stuart-Douglas is the fiction voice of The Writers Collective — atmospheric, precise, and consistently drawn to the stories that live at the edges of history and culture, where the familiar and the strange meet in ways that illuminate both.

His bibliography includes Broken Strings: The Great Rifts of Rock, a deep dive into the feuds, fallouts, and fractures that shaped the history of rock music — written with the authority of someone who knows the music intimately and the humanity to understand why the relationships behind it so often went wrong. His fiction titles include Resurrection, Daddy’s Girl, and the Rake’s Progress Trilogy — darkly compelling work that moves between psychological suspense, moral complexity, and the kind of storytelling that stays with a reader long after the last page.

All titles are available on Amazon in Kindle, paperback, and hardcover, and on audiobook from Spotify, Google Play Books, Apple Books, Barnes and Noble, Storytel, and Kobo Rakuten.
