Well, hello there

I’m Sophie, and as you may have guessed, I love all things creative. With nearly 20 years of professional writing and design experience under my belt, I specialise in developing engaging content for a wide range of editorial and craft-based projects.

​

I live in Derbyshire with my husband and four cats, and I like to bring passion and precision to everything I create. I’m particularly fond of embroidery, quilting, dressmaking, and knitting – but truth be told, I’ve never met a craft I didn’t like. I also love cosying up with a good book, making a mess in the kitchen, watching ghost stories and mystery shows, and relaxing with cosy video games (often after the aforementioned spookiness).

​

Over the years, I’ve had the pleasure of collaborating with a variety of leading brands and publishers in the UK and internationally. For a closer look at my portfolio, you can click here - or, you can browse the services I offer by clicking here. While my expertise lies mainly in the homes, interiors, and craft sectors, I’m always eager to tackle new topics and I love taking on a challenge.

​

I’m currently available for new editorial, marketing, consultancy, and craft project commissions. If you’re looking for a skilled writer and editor who can bring your ideas to life, reach out and say hello - let's create something fun!
