Let’s have a conversation
I’m Roz Morris — a novelist, memoirist and former ghostwriter with more than 4 million copies sold. I write literary novels and memoirs that explore enigma, longing and the search for meaning. My work has been described as haunting, lyrical and deeply resonant — the kind of story that stays with readers long after the final page.
I’m also a thoughtful, articulate guest who loves deep conversation. If you’re looking for someone who can explore big human questions with wit, warmth and a bit of philosophical edge, I’d love to talk.
Three conversation angles I offer
- The Geography of the Soul
Why finding ‘the right house’ is not straightforward — and why the search is a journey into identity and our place in time, not just architecture.
We say we’re looking for the perfect home, but what we’re really searching for is a place that reflects who we are — or who we want to become. Drawing on my memoir Turn Right At The Rainbow, I explore why house-hunting becomes a journey of self-discovery, why our sense of home is never purely logical, and what happens when the search takes us somewhere we didn’t expect.
Good fit for: lifestyle, philosophy, memoir, and ‘sense of place’ podcasts.
- The Way We Live Now (Slowly)
Finding the ‘intriguing ordinary’ in a world that’s moving too fast.
In an age of constant noise and distraction, how do we reclaim our attention and notice what’s actually around us? I write about ‘highly observed slow living’ — not as a lifestyle trend, but as a way of seeing. This conversation explores how to find depth, beauty and meaning in everyday moments, and why slowing down is an act of creative resistance. And renewal.
Good fit for: wellness, creativity, essay-based and ‘thoughtful living’ podcasts.
- The Ghostwriter’s Shift
What happens when you spend a career being other people, then finally try to find your own voice?
For years, I helped other authors tell their stories — selling more than 4 million copies under other names. Then I had to learn how to write as myself. This conversation explores the strange, difficult and ultimately liberating process of finding your real voice after years of ventriloquism — and what it teaches us about identity, authenticity and creative courage.
Good fit for: creative life, career transition, writing, and ‘reinvention’ podcasts.

Start with this book
If you’d like to get a feel for my voice and themes before we talk, I recommend starting with Turn Right At The Rainbow — a wry, nostalgic memoir about house-hunting, belonging, and the search for home. It’s been called ‘warm’, ‘lyrical’ and ‘quietly profound’.
