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.

Your reader is not ‘someone who likes a good story’

Last time, I said a successful book marketing campaign should kick in way before you finish your first draft. If you leave things until you’re paying a marketing consultant to help sell your novel, it’s already much too late.

The first thing any PR person worth their salt will ask (after ‘what do you want to achieve?’) is ‘who is this book for?’
