Journalism

Upon leaving college he worked as a police reporter at The Baltimore Sun from 1983 to 1995.[2] He spent most of his career covering the crime beat.[2][3] A colleague has said that Simon loved journalism and felt it was "God's work".[3] Simon claims that he was initially altruistic and was inspired to enter journalism by the Washington Post's coverage of Watergate but became increasingly pragmatic as he gained experience.[3] His main aim later in his career was to tell the best possible story without cheating it.[3] The Sun is the newspaper of record for Baltimore, Maryland, with a daily press run of 247,193 copies and a Sunday run of 418,670 copies (9/30/05 Audit Bureau of Circulations report). ...

He was a Union Captain when the writing staff went on strike in 1987 over cuts in their benefits.[4] When the strike ended he remained angry and began to feel uncomfortable in the writing room.[4] He searched for a reason to justify a leave of absence and settled on the idea of writing a novel.[4]


Homicide:A Year on the Killing Streets

Main article: Homicide: A Year on the Killing Streets

The leave of absence resulted in Simon's first book Homicide: A Year on the Killing Streets (1991). The book was based on his experiences shadowing the members of the Baltimore Police Department homicide unit for the year of 1988.[2] The idea came from a conversation on Christmas Eve 1985 in the unit office where an associate named Brian Landry told him that he would read a book chronicling their activities for a year.[4] Simon approached the editors of the paper and the police department and received their approval. He initially faced negative reactions from the detectives but he persevered in "seeming like part of the furniture" going as far as cutting his long hair and they slowly accepted him.[3] Year 1991 (MCMXCI) was a common year starting on Tuesday (link will display the 1991 Gregorian calendar). ... Baltimore redirects here. ...


The book won the 1992 Edgar Award for Best Fact Crime book.[5] Simon credits his time researching the book as altering his writing style and informing later work. He learned to be more patient both in research and in his writing.[3] He also says a key lesson was not promoting himself but concentrating on his subjects.[3] Year 1992 (MCMXCII) was a leap year starting on Wednesday (link will display full 1992 Gregorian calendar). ... The Edgar Allan Poe Awards (popularly called the Edgars), named after Edgar Allan Poe, are presented every year by the Mystery Writers of America. ...

Homicide: Life on the Street

Main article: Homicide: Life on the Street

The publishers of Homicide:A Year on the Killing Streets were eager for a screen adaptation and submitted it to numerous directors but there was little interest.[4] Simon suggested that they send the book to Baltimore native and film director Barry Levinson. Levinson's assistant Gail Mutrix enjoyed the book and both she and Levinson became attached as producers.[4] The project became the award-winning TV series Homicide: Life on the Street (1993-1999), on which Simon worked as a writer and producer.[2] Homicide: Life on the Street is an American television drama series chronicling the life of a fictional Baltimore police homicide unit. ... Barry Levinson Barry Levinson (born April 6, 1942 in Baltimore, Maryland) is a Jewish-American screenwriter, film director, actor, and producer of film and television. ...

Homicide: Life on the Street is an American television drama series chronicling the life of a fictional Baltimore police homicide unit. ...


Simon was asked to write the show's pilot episode by Mutrix but declined as he felt he did not have the necessary expertise.[6] He collaborated with his old college friend David Mills to write the season two premiere "Bop Gun".[3][7] The episode was based on a story by executive producer Tom Fontana and featured Robin Williams in a guest starring role that garnered the actor an emmy nomination. Simon and Mills won the WGA Award for Best Writing in a Drama for "Bop Gun".[3] David Mills is an American author, journalist, and screenwriter and producer of television programs. ...

Simon left his job with the Baltimore Sun in 1995 to work full time on Homicide: Life on the Street during the production of the show's fourth season. Simon wrote the teleplay for the season four episodes "Justice: Part 2"[8] and "Scene of the Crime".[9] For season five he was the show's story editor and continued to contribute teleplays writing the episodes "Bad Medicine"[10] and "Wu's on First?"[11] He was credited as a producer on the shows sixth and seventh series. He wrote the teleplays for parts two and three of the sixth season premiere "Blood Ties"[12][13] and provided the story for the later sixth season episodes "Full Court Press"[14] and "Finnegan's Wake".[15] He provided the story for the seventh season episodes "Shades of Gray" (with Julie Martin),[16] "The Same Coin" (with James Yoshimura)[17] and "Self Defense" (with Eric Overmyer).[18] Simon wrote the story and teleplay for the seventh season episodes "The Twenty Percent Solution"[19] and "Sideshow: Part 2".[20] Simon, Martin and teleplay writer TJ English won the Humanitas Prize for the episode "Shades of Gray".[21] Simon was nominated for a second WGA Award for Best Writing in a Drama for his work on "Finnegan's Wake" with Yoshimura and Mills (who wrote the teleplay).[22] Humanitas Prize is an award for film and TV writing deemed to promote human dignity, meaning, and freedom. ...


Simon has said that he thought the show was a "remarkable drama" but that it did not reflect the book.[4] He has also said that when writing for the show he had to put his experiences of the real detectives aside as the characters became quite different, particularly in terms of their more philosophical approach to the job.[6] Simon said that TV must find shorthand ways of referencing anything real.[3]


The Corner

In 1997 he co-authored, with Ed Burns, The Corner: A Year in the Life of an Inner-City Neighborhood, the true account of a West Baltimore community dominated by a heavy drug market.[23][24] Simon credits his editor John Sterling with the suggestion that he observe a single drug corner.[2] He took a second leave of absence from the Baltimore Sun in 1993 to research the project.[3][25] Simon became close to one of his subjects, drug addict Gary McCullough, and was devastated by his death while he was writing the project.[3] Simon says that he approached the research with the abstract idea that his subjects may die because of their addictions but it was not possible to fully prepare for the reality.[3] He remains grateful to his subjects saying "This involved people's whole lives, there's no privacy in it. That was an enormous gift which many, many people gave us. Even the most functional were at war with themselves. But they were not foolish people. And they made that choice."[3] The Corner: A Year in the Life of an Inner-City Neighborhood is a book written by Baltimore Sun reporter David Simon and former Baltimore homicide detective Edward Burns. ... Image File history File links This is a lossless scalable vector image. ... For the band, see 1997 (band). ... Ed Burns is an Emmy Award winning television writer. ...


The Corner was named a Notable Book of the Year by The New York Times.[26] Simon again returned to his journalism career after finishing the book but felt further changed by his experiences. He said he was less enamoured with the bragadiccio of the writers room and no longer believed that they were making a difference; he left his job at The Sun within a year for work on NBC's Homicide.[3] The New York Times is a daily newspaper published in New York City and distributed internationally. ...


Soon after Homicide concluded Simon co-wrote (with David Mills) and produced The Corner as a six-hour TV miniseries for HBO.[4] The show received three Emmy Awards, including Outstanding Writing for a Miniseries or a Movie, for Simon and Mills.[4] The Corner: A Year in the Life of an Inner-City Neighborhood is a book written by Baltimore Sun reporter David Simon and former Baltimore homicide detective Edward Burns. ...

The Wire

Main article: The Wire (TV series)

Currently he serves as the creator, executive producer, and head writer of the HBO drama series The Wire.[25] Many of The Wire's characters and incidents also come from Homicide: A Year on the Killing Streets.[27] After a critically acclaimed fourth season, Simon has signed on to produce a fifth and final season of The Wire which will focus on the role of mass media in society.[28] The Wire is an American television drama set and produced in Baltimore, Maryland. ...

The Wire is an American television drama set and produced in Baltimore, Maryland. ...


He again worked with Ed Burns on creating the show. They originally set out to create a police drama loosely based on the experiences of Burns when working on protracted investigations of violent drug dealers using surveillance technology. During this time Burns had often faced frustration with the bureaucracy of the police department, which Simon equated with his own ordeals as a police reporter for the Baltimore Sun. Writing against the background of current events, including institutionalized corporate crime at Enron and institutional dysfunction in the Catholic Church, the show became "more of a treatise about institutions and individuals than a straight cop show."[29] Ed Burns is an Emmy Award winning television writer. ... The Sun is the newspaper of record for Baltimore, Maryland, with a daily press run of 247,193 copies and a Sunday run of 418,670 copies (9/30/05 Audit Bureau of Circulations report). ... Enron Creditors Recovery Corporation (formerly Enron Corporation) (former NYSE ticker symbol: ENE) was an American energy company based in Houston, Texas. ... “Catholic Church” redirects here. ...


They chose to take The Wire to HBO because of their existing working relationship from the The Corner. Owing to its reputation for exploring new areas, HBO was initially dubious about including a cop drama in their lineup, but eventually agreed to produce the pilot[29][30] after ordering a further two scripts to see how the series would progress.[31] Carolyn Strauss president of HBO entertainment has said that Simon's argument that the most subversive thing HBO could do was invade the networks "backyard" of police procedurals helped to persuade them.[2] The Corner: A Year in the Life of an Inner-City Neighborhood is a book written by Baltimore Sun reporter David Simon and former Baltimore homicide detective Edward Burns. ... A television pilot is a test episode of an intended television series. ...


The theme of institutional dysfucntion was expanded across different areas of the city as the show progressed. The second season focused on the death of working class America through examination of the city ports.[32] The third season "reflects on the nature of reform and reformers, and whether there is any possibility that political processes, long calcified, can mitigate against the forces currently arrayed against individuals." [32] For the fourth season Simon again turned to Burns experience, this time his second career as a Baltimore public school teacher in examining the theme of education.[2]


Simon was reunited with his Corner producers Robert F. Colesberry and Nina K. Noble on The Wire.[28] Simon credits Colesberry for achieving the show's realistic visual feel because of his experience as a director.[33] They recruited Homicide star and director Clark Johnson to helm the pilot episode.[33] The completed pilot was given to HBO in November 2001.[31] Johnson returned to direct the second episode when the show was picked up.[33] Robert F. Colesberry was an American film and television producer and first assistant director notable for his work as a producer on the Emmy award winning miniseries The Corner and Peabody award winning The Wire for HBO. Colesberry had a recurring cameo on the wire as detective Ray Cole. ... This biography does not cite any references or sources. ...


Simon approached acclaimed crime fiction authors to write for The Wire. He was recommended the work of George Pelecanos by a colleague while working at the Baltimore Sun because of similarities between their writing. The two writers have much in common including a childhood in Silver Springs, attendance at the University of Maryland and their interst in the "fate of the American city and the black urban poor."[31] Simon did not read Pelecanos initially because of territorial prejudice; Pelecanos is from Washington.[4] Once Simon received further recommendations including one from his wife Laura Lippman he tried Pelecanos' novel The Sweet Forever and changed his mind.[31] He sought out Pelecanos when recruiting writers for The Wire. The two met at the funeral of a mutual friend shortly after Simon delivered the pilot episode.[31] Simon pitched Pelecanos the idea of The Wire as a novel for televion about the American city as Pelecanos drove him home.[31] Pelecanos became a regular writer[34] and later a producer for the shows second[35] and third seasons.[36] Simon and Pelcanos collaborated to write the episode "Middle Ground"[37][38] which received the show's only Emmy nomination to date, in the category Outstanding Writing for a Drama Series.[39] George Pelecanos is an American author of detective fiction. ... Middle Ground is the eleventh episode of the third season of the HBO original series, The Wire. ... Outstanding Writing for a Drama Series is awarded to one television episode each year at the Primetime Emmy Awards. ...


Pelecanos left the production staff following the third season to focus on his next novel; Simon has commented that he missed having him working on the show full-time but was pleased that he continued to write for them and was a fan of the resultant book The Night Gardener.[40] Similar to Simon's own experience in researching Homicide Pelecanos spent time embedded with the Washington DC homicide unit to research the book. The Night Gardener is a 2006 crime novel by George Pelecanos. ...


Crime novelist Dennis Lehane has also written for the series starting with third season.[41][36] Lehane has commented that he was impressed by Simon and Burns' ear for authentic street slang.[31] Dennis Lehane (born 1966) is an American author. ...


Eric Overmyer was brought in to fill the role of Pelecanos as a full-time writer producer.[40][42] He had previously worked with Simon on Homicide where the two became friends.[40] Simon has said that he was impressed with Overmyers writing particularly in synthesising the story for "Margin of Error" as the episode is the height of the show's political storyline but must also progress other plot threads.[40] Eric Overmyer is a writer and producer. ... Margin of Error is the sixth episode of the fourth season of the HBO original series, The Wire. ...


Simon has stated that he finds working with HBO more comfortable than his experiences with NBC on Homicide and that HBO are able to allow greater creative control because they are dependent on subscribers rather than on viewing figures.[23] He has said that he feels unable to return to network television because he felt pressure to compromise storytelling for audience satisfaction.[4]


Future projects

Simon is also producing and writing an adaptation of Generation Kill for HBO with Ed Burns.[43] Simon has written a teleplay about bluesman Muddy Waters that has not been produced.[3] He has mentioned plans to write another book; potentially about the rise of drug use in the 1950s and 1970s.[4] Simon continues to work as a freelance journalist and author, writing for The Washington Post, The New Republic, and Details magazine.[25] Generation Kill (2004) is a book written by Evan Wright chronicling his experience as an embedded reporter with the 1st Reconnaissance Battalion‎ during the 2003 Invasion of Iraq. ... Ed Burns is an Emmy Award winning television writer. ... McKinley Morganfield (April 4, 1915 – April 30, 1983), better known as Muddy Waters, was an American blues musician and is generally considered the Father of Chicago blues. He is also the actual father of blues musician Big Bill Morganfield. ... The Washington Post is the largest newspaper in Washington, D.C.. It is also one of the citys oldest papers, having been founded in 1877. ... For other uses, see New Republic. ... Cover of an issue of Details magazine Details, a monthly mens magazine, is published by Condé Nast Publications. ...


Simon is collaborating with Eric Overmyer again on a project about musicians in post-Katrina New Orleans.[31] Overmyer lives part-time in New Orleans and Simon believes his experience will be valuable in navigating the "ornate oral tradition" of the city's stories.[31] The show will focus on a working class neighborhood and will be smaller in scope than The Wire.[40][31] HBO have comissioned a pilot episode of the series but it has not received a "green-light".[40] Eric Overmyer is a writer and producer. ...


Personal life

David Simon is married to Baltimore novelist and former Sun reporter Laura Lippman. Laura Lippman Laura Lippman (born 1959) is an American author of detective fiction. ...


Writing process and characteristics

Simon is known for his realistic dialogue and journalistic approach to writing.[31] He says that authenticity is paramount and that he writes not with a general audience in mind but with the opinions of his subjects as his priority.[31]
