‘Delightful: amusing, entertaining and often very moving … quintessentially English’
Garry Craig Powell, Rain Taxi
‘Wonderfully wry’
Nick Hallissey, Country Walking
Narrative non-fiction: I wander, I write. Come and peek inside my notebook – Not Quite Lost, Travels Without A Sense of Direction.
Writer, journalist, interviewer
I love creative people. I interview 3D artists for Adobe’s Substance magazine (here is one and here’s another). I also interview novelists, memoirists, poets and other creative scribblers on my blog.
Sometimes I am a ghostwriter
I’ve collaborated on a number of books by the famous and notorious, including a dozen novels. Spines and covers must remain hidden because, well, you’re not meant to know. Millions of readers have enjoyed my words – and that’s no exaggeration because average sales were 500,000 copies each.

Speaker, tutor and writing coach
I’m an experienced speaker, tutor and writing coach. I teach creative writing masterclasses for The Guardian newspaper in London and have spoken at a range of writing and publishing events. I help writers on an individual consultancy basis and a recent client won the Roald Dahl Funny Prize. I have a show on Surrey Hills Radio, So You Want To Be A Writer.
And sometimes I indulge my inner hooligan:

I write books slowly. You probably won’t see a new release from me before a year or two has passed (recent releases here). But I’ve always got creative adventures to share in my newsletter and I’m producing new work regularly in the online world, blogging, broadcasting, teaching and I love a chat on Facebook or Twitter. Here are my regular haunts.

Roz Morris, author 
I have so much respect for ghostwriters, but none for those who use them. Ghostwriters seem like the sort of people who write for the sake of writing and not for recognition.
Julia, thank you! It’s a double-edged sword. Readers probably feel a bit cheated if they hear something’s ghosted. But for writers it’s a great way to stretch into new genres, new voices. What I’ve learned writing as other people has fed back into my own art.
Wow, Roz! Your life sounds much like that of a CIA agent. I wonder if your suitcase is loaded with multiple identities and passports? Are you really Roz Morris? Really?
I could tell you but I’d have to kill you.

As a fellow writer, I look forward to reading about what you have to say- especially since I’m working on what may become a novel… Keep up the great work!
Hello – and thank you! This is a static site and I don’t often post here, but you’ll find plenty going on at http://www.nailyournovel.com!
Dear Roz,
Read a little from Travels.. and I am hooked. I must read this novel.
But I won’t have time until some break or holiday. My new job is taking all my time.
Best wishes,
Sara L. Nilsson
Thank you, Sara
I just recommended “Not Quite Lost” to someone on FB yesterday!
