Hello, I’m Sofie. For those who may not be so familiar with what I do - I am a writer. It's my greatest ambition, my greatest obsession, and also sometimes my greatest frustration when I feel I've not met my goals. It’s a cliché, but I remember since first being able to scribble with a pen, or punch keys before an absurdly huge and ancient computer, that creating stories was the greatest joy of my life - and that I’d stubbornly grind on until I could make that an act I could live off of.

For a long, long time, I've felt drawn to the colder, wilder, darker aspects of art, history and nature, and I write in the hope of reflecting this fascination through prose and poetry. I've taken a 4 year degree in Scandinavian Studies, followed by a Master's in Creative Writing - throughout these years in academia I've poured over many ancient texts including Anglo-Saxon poems and Skaldic verses composed in honour of the dead, or as a rallying cry to arms, baying for bloodshed. These are the archaic, old-as-time and yet eternally beautiful styles I strive to emulate in my own work. Although writing fantasy novels full-time is my overarching aspiration, I'm so incredibly proud to have sold out of my first book Draugaskald: Volume I, and can’t wait to realise Volume II soon.

I currently live and work a muggle-job (but write whenever I can) in a beautiful, ancient British city with my scaly companion Glaurung - if you follow my Instagram, you’ll no doubt be plagued by photos of him looking adorable. My family’s roots are a hodge-podge but the forests and mountains featuring in many of them made a great impact on me as a child. I have lived in Norway and strive to again, amongst the fjords and dark trees I dream so often of.
