Roz Morris – author, editor (and secret ghostwriter)

I’m a professional writer, editor and writing blogger living in London. You’ll have seen my books on the bestseller lists but not under my name because I ghostwrote them for other people (see Who else am I?).

I have edited for a leading literary consultancy in London and am now a freelance book doctor. Details of clients are confidential, but I am allowed to reveal that a manuscript I doctored was awarded the Roald Dahl Funny Prize 2012.

I’m now coming into the daylight with books of my own. I write quirky literary fiction and have two agents – Piers Blofeld at Sheil Land and Jane Conway-Gordon.

…..

My first novel under my own name is My Memories of a Future Life. It’s available on Kobo, Kindle and in print. You can listen to a free audio of the first 4 chapters here.

…..

I’m also the author of writing books – Nail Your Novel: Why Writers Abandon Books and how you can Draft, Fix and Finish With Confidence  and Nail Your Novel: Bring Characters to Life, written from my experiences mentoring other authors.

My main blog (the purple one), is my diary of challenges I’m tackling, both in my own writing and as I guide others. On my other blog (the red one) I run a weekly series called The Undercover Soundtrack, where authors talk about using music in their creative process. Do hop over for a listen.

Aside from that, I hang out in the usual places. You can
find me on Twitter as @ByRozMorris and also as @NailYourNovel (formerly DirtyWhiteCandy – and yes, there’s a story in that. It’s on my blog in the sidebar.

‘So original it’s in a class of its own’ - For Books’ Sake

PRAISE FOR Nail Your Novel

‘This book should be used as a text in writing courses’
‘There are shedloads of books on how to write novels, and a lot of them are longer and considerably less useful’
‘I wish I’d had this book a long time ago’
‘The author has a proven track record as a writer of fiction, as opposed to writers of “how to write” books’
