Hello, I’m Sophie.
I’m the author of three bestselling novels and I’m a creative writing teacher, living in the North East of England with my gorgeous daughter.
I’m a member of the Creative Writing faculty at Teesside University and I research the connections between writing, creativity and our health.
I feel so lucky that teaching creative writing and facilitating spaces for personal exploration through writing process has been my work for 25 years now.
I’ve been creating writing courses and communities online since almost the beginning of the internet (yes, really!). In fact, in the early days, pre-Skype and pre-Zoom, we got together to talk about our writing on conference calls over crackly phone lines. People dialled in from all over the world on actual landline phones.
Can you imagine? (My daughter can’t…)
These days, it’s much easier to create spaces to write and learn online – but the flipside to that is that online can feel much faster, louder and more crowded than ever before.
✒︎ WRITE! CLUB is a place where you can leave all that behind. I’d like you to think of it as a big, enveloping hug. Grab a cup of something comforting and let’s write together.
Along the way, I’d love to share everything I’ve learned so far, not only about how writing can help us to process the challenges of daily life and cultivate hope; but also how a gentle and kind approach to our creative process can help us to find our flow as writers and artists.
If you’re just starting out, WRITE! Club will help you to grow your creative confidence.
If you’re an experienced writer or creative, feeling stuck, weary or burnt out, I hope that this space might help you to find deep rest and renewed inspiration.
The world needs your creativity, your spark and your well-rested energy.
I’m so glad that you’re here.
