About Sophie

I support authors who want a professional reader, attentive to readability, rhythm, and coherence of a text, without ever betraying the author's voice or style.
My job is not to rewrite or standardize, but to read precisely:
identify points of disconnect, areas of confusion, imbalances of point of view or narrative tension.
I intervene at different stages of the writing process, for fiction texts (novel, short story), when the author feels that “something is not yet working”, without necessarily knowing what.
I work in a relationship of trust, with clear, reasoned, and respectful feedback on the literary project.
