Talking points

Mo is always ready to fill your podcast or magazine space with wit, wisdom, and a generous helping of self-deprecating humour.

Book him now before he’s too famous to return your calls.

He’ll talk about anything but is more likely to have intractable/objectionable opinions on: writing, imposter syndrome, LGBTQ+ life (from the fabulous to the frustrating), the importance of representation in literature, how to balance humour and heart when telling a story, petty grievances (let’s sweat the small stuff together), the art of procrastination, the pitfalls and pratfalls of social media, making the perfect cup of tea, the Eurovision Song Contest, how to pronounce scone, parking problems, and why he’d rather live in a field where his nearest neighbours moo.
