Caitlin Moran

Caitlin Moran is an award winning journalist, bestselling author, screenwriter and female motivational speaker, best known for her million selling book ‘How to Be a Woman’ and her long standing career as a columnist for The Times. Celebrated for combining humour with candid social commentary, Caitlin speaks compellingly about feminism, confidence, societal expectations and navigating change. Her warmth, wit and willingness to tackle difficult subjects make her ideal for corporate conferences, leadership events, women’s networks and audiences seeking an entertaining yet thought provoking perspective on modern life.

Caitlin began developing her distinctive voice remarkably young. After winning The Observer’s Young Reporter of the Year competition aged 15, she launched her professional journalism career writing for ‘Melody Maker’. At 16, she published her debut novel, ‘The Chronicles of Narmo’, before becoming an official weekly columnist for The Times aged just 18. These formative experiences give Caitlin valuable insight into ambition, resilience and finding confidence in your own ideas, themes she translates naturally into motivational talks.

Her career subsequently expanded across journalism, literature, television and film. ‘How to Be a Woman’ became a million selling phenomenon and won Book of the Year at the Galaxy National Book Awards. She later published ‘Moranthology’, ‘How to Build a Girl’, ‘Moranifesto’, ‘How to Be Famous’, ‘More Than a Woman’ and ‘What About Men?’, before releasing ‘How to Be Hopeful’ in 2026. Caitlin also co-wrote ‘Raised by Wolves’, which won the Rose d’Or Award for Best Sitcom, and adapted ‘How to Build a Girl’ for film.

Caitlin is hired as a female motivational speaker because her authority is matched by accessibility and humour. A seven-time British Press Awards Columnist of the Year, alongside being named Interviewer and Critic of the Year, she brings considerable media credibility. In 2026, appearances on ‘Begin Again with Davina McCall’, ‘Rosebud’ and ‘Pete Wicks: Man Made’ further demonstrated her ability to create engaging conversations.

For event audiences, Caitlin offers more than career anecdotes. Her experience confronting sexism, discussing gender expectations and organising the #TwitterSilence campaign gives her talks genuine substance. She encourages audiences to question conventions, speak confidently and approach difficult conversations with humour, curiosity and hope, making her a distinctive female motivational speaker for organisations seeking both inspiration and meaningful discussion.
