Mo Fanning is a British novelist writing contemporary romantic comedy with emotional depth. His novels focus on flawed people, complicated feelings, and the quiet pressures of modern life, balancing humour with heart rather than relying on slapstick or cliché.

He is the author of several novels and short story collections, including Rainbows and Lollipops and Ghosted. His work is known for its distinctly British voice, sharp dialogue, and characters who make understandable but questionable decisions.

Mo lives in the Midlands and writes stories about love, friendship, grief, and the moments where things start to unravel, usually in ways that feel uncomfortably familiar.

Mo Fanning is currently not accepting new questions.
