Testimonials

  • "Sophie brings a rare combination of professionalism and genuine warmth. Her friendly and approachable manner completely changed my perception of an industry I had previously seen as quite closed and impersonal. Working with her pushed me to develop as a writer, helping me refine my work and articulate ideas at a level I hadn’t reached before. She has a natural ability to support authors while quietly raising the standard of their work, and I’ve no doubt she’ll continue to make a real impact wherever she goes."

    Al Mennie, author of Night Swimming

  • "Working with Sophie was an absolute delight. She took my mostly-formed idea for a book and honoured the spirit of it while making thoughtful suggestions that improved it dramatically. Her editorial eye is keen and experienced, and she brings out the best in her authors."

    Bridget McNulty, author of Daily Glimmers

  • "Sophie was an absolute joy to work with. Her positivity and encouragement made the whole process feel easier, while her organisation and support ensured everything ran smoothly. She helped bring my idea for a new book to life in a seamless and enjoyable way."

    Tara Lee, author of My Pregnancy Yoga Journal

  • "I have had the great fortune to have the help of Sophie, who not only had significant ideas that made the book a better one, but also went way beyond the normal with her ideas, humour and "can do" attitude throughout. I will never forget her kindness and I very much hope to work with her again."

    Adele Nozedar, author of Foraging for Healing Herbs

  • "Working with Sophie was an absolute pleasure. She brought such a thoughtful balance of professionalism and warmth to the entire process, always responding promptly and making everything feel seamless. I felt supported every step of the way, and her attention to detail truly elevated the final result."

    Holly Brandenberger, author of Aroma Alchemy

  • "I feel incredibly lucky to have had Sophie by my side while writing and publishing my first book. She is truly dedicated to making the books that she works on the very best they can be and I have seen this reflected in my own work, where her feedback has added so much depth to my writing. My book would not be what it is without her knowledge and guidance. I trust Sophie completely to support both me and my work and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her – any writer would be in excellent hands."

    Rosanna Day, author of The Silence of TFMR

  • "Her attention to detail, combined with the way she truly listens and guides the author with care and clarity, made me feel not only supported, but deeply understood."

    Ana Leo, author of The Astrology Diary

  • "Working with Sophie on two projects has been a really seamless and a pleasurable experience. She is consistently kind, communicative and caring. Helping me feel at ease and ready to fully trust her expert opinions and judgements. I am really grateful for our time working together, launching a book or project can be a vulnerable thing and she always made the process feel relaxed and fun. I felt held, listened to and taken care of. Thank you so much Sophie."

    Katie-Jane Wright, author of Songs of the Stones and Songs of the Stones Oracle Deck

  • "Working with Sophie on my first book was a pleasure. She is knowledgable, kind and calm, and helped to orientate me through a process which is confusing and overwhelming to someone new in the book industry. Sophie takes the author's opinions on-board and helps make you feel part of the team. Thank you Sophie for taking a chance on me and my book!"

    Eleanor Dalton, author of Posture Power

  • "It has been a pleasure to work with Sophie on my debut book. I was encouraged by her thoughtful, clear and considered feedback. I know my book benefited enormously from Sophie's input and I wouldn't hesitate to work with her again in the future."

    Molly Ella, author of The Scottish Art of Living Slowly
