marketing manager, Hodder Education
Sophia Blackwell works as a marketing manager at Hodder Education and as a freelance writer, editor, and radio journalist making arts programmes and podcasts.
Sophia holds a BA (Hons) in English Language and Literature from the University of Oxford. Shortly after graduating, she discovered the two main passions of her adult life – publishing and performance poetry. She has worked in publishing since then and is also the author of three collections of poetry and a novel, and her most recent non-fiction book, The Poetry Writers’ Handbook, was published by Bloomsbury in 2022. Sophia’s projects this year include hosting events for Migrant Help, teaching a 5-week online poetry course for Bloomsbury and performing at Camden People’s Theatre this summer.
