'''Simon Jowett''' is a British author and scriptwriter.

==Biography==
His early work was in comics, as the writer of the [[James Bond]] stories ''Silent Armageddon'' (1993, drawn by [[John M. Burns]]) and ''Shattered Helix'' (1994, drawn by [[David Jackson (comics)|David Jackson]], over layouts and with colouring by [[David Lloyd (comics)|David Lloyd]]) and as a contributor to ''[[2000 AD (comic)|2000AD]]''. He left comics largely behind in the mid-1990s, when he moved into script-writing for other media. He has worked on feature-length adaptations of children's fiction and has written scripts for a number of computer games, including the best-selling [[Fire Warrior]] and the landmark game/internet serial Halcyon Sun (with [[Jonathan Clements]]).

Jowett's broadcast television work includes [[Shane the Chef]], which he co-created, [[A.T.O.M. (TV series)|A.T.O.M.]] (Jetix/Toon Disney), Chop Socky Chooks (Aardman Animations), [[Zula Patrol]] (Zeeter Productions), [[Pitt & Kantrop]] (Millimages), [[The Way Things Work]] (Millimages) and episodes of [[Bob the Builder]] (HIT Entertainment).

He is also the author of two novels and several children's books, including movie tie-ins to [[Finding Nemo]] and [[Wallace and Gromit]]. He has also contributed short stories and novellas set in the [[Warhammer 40K]] game universe to various anthologies published by the [[Black Library]] imprint of BL Publishing, a subsidiary of [[Games Workshop]].
