Fiona Moore is a Canadian academic, writer and critic based in London (UK). She is best known for writing works of TV criticism, short fiction, stage and audio plays (being one of the original members of the Magic Bullet Productions writing team and the coauthor of the "50 Things About..." column in Celestial Toyroom), and academic texts on the anthropology of business and organisations. Her research work has been described by Professor Roger Goodman at the University of Oxford's Nissan Institute as "engaging head-on with the growing and increasingly complex literature on transnationalism and globalisation and relating it constructively to key ideas in symbolic anthropology." A graduate of the University of Toronto and the University of Oxford, she is Chair of Business Anthropology at Royal Holloway, University of London. In 2020, she was shortlisted for the BSFA Award for Shorter Fiction, and in 2023 she won the BSFA Award for Short Non-Fiction.
