Interviews

I have extensive experience of interviewing various writers and public figures from historians to authors of young adult fiction, screenwriters to scientists. My specialities are science, science fiction, and fantasy. I have conducted interviews of all sizes for the Hay Festival of Literature and the Arts, Liverpool Arab Arts Festival (LAAF), Writing on the Wall (as part of the International Festival of Business), the Science Museum, and Waterstones, as well as various other festivals, conventions and events. My interviews are highly praised by audiences, organisers, publishers, and authors.

I formerly curated a monthly speculative fiction showcase for Gower Street's Waterstones in Bloomsbury, the events were called Sci-Fi Sessions and were well received. I am also available to conduct interviews for events, festivals, and conventions. If you'd like to discuss booking me to conduct an interview or chair an event, please email me: drgrmorgan@gmail.com
