Joel P. Morris writes humorous non-fiction, and the bulk of his catalog belongs to the Ladybird Books for Grown-Ups series. These short, satirical books parody the classic Ladybird children’s format and cover topics like The Hangover, The Mid-Life Crisis, The Sickie, Dating, Red Tape, and the Zombie Apocalypse. The series launched in 2015 with titles including The Wife, The Husband, and The Ladybird Book of Mindfulness, then expanded rapidly through 2017 and 2018 with entries on family members (The Mum, The Dad, The Grandparent, The Baby, The Brother, The Sister) and cultural commentary (The Story of Brexit, A Ladybird Book About Donald Trump).

Before the Ladybird series, Morris co-wrote Bollocks to Alton Towers (2005) and its sequel More Bollocks to Alton Towers (2008), quirky travel guides to overlooked British attractions. He has also written standalone non-fiction, including The World According to Gogglebox and Cunk on Everything: The Encyclopedia Philomena. Across 37 books, the common thread is comedy applied to very British subjects.
