If you’re reading this, it’s already too late. To click on this page is to open Pandora’s Box. So why not satisfy your curiosity, and chew on a mouthful of my Medium articles? I submit these to a variety of publications, including Fictions, Fanfare, Frame Rated, and The Writing Cooperative. I also have my own publication, Simon Dillon Cinema, where I review new cinema releases (the only articles not listed here, but follow the link for more).

For interviews with yours truly, click here for one conducted by Justin Cox of The Writing Cooperative, and click here for one conducted by Ben Human from The Pro Files.
