Hi! I’m Sophie Campbell, a story-obsessed freelance writer

I write. And I write about writing. Meta, I know. I’m a freelance creative content writer for literary and cosy lifestyle brands.

As your go-to cosy content writer, I craft binge-readable blogs, landing pages, emails, ebooks and social media copy.

(Why not head over here to take a look at my services and prices?)

With a nerd-level insight into your target audience (more on this explained below), I help you build a rich and value-packed content hub that attracts visitors and nurtures them into customers.

I’m all about working with businesses that give writers and readers the tools and vibes they need to build their dream literary life.

  • Writing tools and communities

  • Cosy lifestyle and home décor

  • Literary gifts and stationery

  • Reading tools and communities

  • Writing coaches and mentors

  • Arts organisations and charities

You’re a content writer writing for businesses that want to attract writers and readers?

Yep! It really is ‘the inception of niches’ – as coined by Bethany Jewkes on LinkedIn. 

But there is a method to my madness…

As well as nearly a decade in marketing under my belt, I'm a lifelong fiction writer (and reader) and prize-winning poet with two creative writing degrees. 

✍️ I know how you can attract more creative writers and readers to your platform and grow your business without having to take on extra content creation work. (I’ll do it for ya.)

✍️ I can create magnetic content that helps you grow because I know your target audience inside out. And how do I know them so well? Because, well, I am your target audience!

So, if your offering has been lovingly crafted with writers and readers in mind and you need a go-to content writer to support your growth, I’m your gal.

Still curious?

Okay, here’s some more about me

Content writer. Copywriter. Fiction writer. Poet. Creative writing facilitator. On a scale from 1-10, how obvious is it that I was a teacher’s pet in English at school?

  • I’ve had short stories, poems and flash fictions published in The Woolf, Surely Mag, Bright Flash Literary Review, The Speculative Book, Razur Cuts and more.

  • I won the poetry prize in Bold Types, GWL’s Annual Scottish Women's Creative Writing Competition, in 2023.

  • I have a Master of Research degree in Creative Writing from the University of Strathclyde. For my postgrad, I wrote a novella and literature review on dementia in contemporary fiction. 

  • I live in a small town on the West Coast of Scotland with my husband, Jamie.

  • I’ve attempted NaNoWriMo three times. Won once. Still have 3 unfinished novels. I’m currently working on a novella-in-flash.

  • I ran a literary magazine during lockdown and published two digital issues of Silk + Smoke.

  • I grew up in the countryside in a cottage built by my grandpa. I’ll buy it back one day when I win the lottery.

A few of my favourite things

  • Favourite authors: Elizabeth Strout and Lily King.

  • Favourite films: GoodFellas, LOTR: Return of the King, Trainspotting, Clueless and The Shining.

  • Favourite artists/bands: Father John Misty, Fleetwood Mac, Honeygrip, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Talking Heads and Led Zeppelin.

If you’ve made it this far, you must feel like you know me pretty well by now. So, you might as well take a look at how we can work together…
