Simon Harris

I have lived in Barcelona, capital of Catalonia, since 1988, where I have had a career as a minor rock star and then a university-level teacher of English and translator. My main writing topics are Catalan history, language and culture. I had my first book Going Native in Catalonia published by Native Spain in 2008 and self-published Catalonia Is Not Spain: A Historical Perspective in late 2014. I am currently working on a biography of Catalan president Artur Mas centred on the Catalan independence movement, which I plan to self-publish in spring 2015.

I am open to discussing offers from established publishing houses and am confident that, given the international interest in the issue of Catalan independence, my work potentially has a large, if slightly specialist, audience.
