2008 will see the publication of Mo McAuley’s first
collection of short stories, “The A-Z
Man” (described by Rose Tremain as an “adroit and highly original story
about a loner slowly going mad in Regents Park”). Mo McAuley’s work first came
to my attention via her short story “The A-Z Man”. I was applying for a job at
East of the Web, and part of the application was to approve anonymous stories,
one of which was “The A-Z Man”. Although I never got around to completing my
application for this job, I was very impressed by this short and was wondering
who wrote. To my delight, I discovered today that it was Mo McAuley who had
written it. “The A-Z Man” was one of the prizewinners in the 2003 Bridport
Prize. Mo has been successful with
both her childrens’ stories, and her more adult stories, such as “The A-Z Man”.
In 2004, Mo came second in The New Writer’s Prose and Poetry Prize with “Not
Really Homes and Gardens”. She’s also been published in “Good Housekeeping”,
“QWF”, “Buzzwords”, “East of the Web”, “Electric Acorn”, and the short story
anthology “Teaching a Chicken to Swim”. Mo has also been longlisted for the
Asham and a prize-winning Commended in the Writer of the Year Competition with
a story called “Something Has To Happen” as well as being runner up in various
other competitions, including the Biscuit Flash Fiction Competition. Mo has
been awarded a BA in English and History from the University of London, and has
an MA in Creative Writing from the University of Glamorgan (which looks to be
an incredibly good course). She’s into yoga in a big way.. Mo McAuley lives in Kent
with her family.
