Sophie Clarkin

Born and raised in Massachusetts, USA, Sophie graduated with a B.A. in Creative Writing & Literature from Wheaton College in 2023. She received honors for her creative senior thesis, won the Helen Meyers Tate Memorial Prize for Original Verse, and even placed as a finalist in the RWA’s Unpublished Contemporary Romance awards. Her works have been published in the literary magazine Rushlight and on the Hey! Young Writer website.

As a self-proclaimed romance fiend, Sophie writes contemporary romance with a dash of comedy that mixes swoonworthy love stories with her personal experiences as a plus-size woman navigating mental health, college and post-grad life, and relationships with family and friends. Now living with friends from her college a cappella group, a typical weekend consists of rewatching When Harry Met Sally and Saturday Night Live reruns with a cat in her lap.
