TESTIMONIALS
I hired Sophie to do a script Coverage on my latest animation feature, MAINSTREAM, and I was absolutely delighted with her feedback. So professional, and full of insight. Her advice was invaluable and I cannot wait to put her recommendations and advice into practice for my next draft. For any writer who may be wanting to know any potential flaws or issues with their rhythm and flow, character development etc. then I highly recommend her Sophie! She won’t be beaten for value for money.

Sophie's notes are clear, insightful, and encouraging. Her help on my pitch helped me make the story tight, exciting and better overall.

Working with Sophie is a real tonic. She always emphasises the positive with a view to making your writing stronger. She gives actionable notes and great suggestions, and also puts her "reader's" hat on, explaining if anything isn't clear. It's a pleasure to work with her and I always feel inspired and energised by her input.

I'm very happy I took "The Fun Creative Writing workshop". Sophie is very nice, engaging, and organized. She had a wonderful ability for maximizing and giving solid shape to my ideas, even if they seemed vague at first. In a very short time, Sophie covered important aspects to bear in mind while crafting a short story: characters, plot, scenery, dialogue... Sophie's method is fun and light. Through games, meditation, and practical exercises it was possible to access the holy fountain of creativity! I highly recommend it!

Sophie's in-depth analysis and insightful comments played a vital role in the selection of script finalists. Her passion for script reading was evident in her excitement and commitment to ÉCU’s “Much More Than a Script Competition,” but it was her impartial analysis and poignant thoughts that made her a valuable judge. For each submission, she fairly rendered her verdict based on the concept of the storyline, characterization, dialogue, structure and audience appeal.

Sophie a coeur de nous apprendre le métier de scénariste et les techniques de scénarios. A l'écoute, bienveillante, elle prend le temps de s'intéresser à l'évolution de ses étudiants. Toujours de bons conseils, elle sait comment dynamiser vos histoires tout en gardant votre touche personnelle. C'est plus qu'une simple professeure, c'est un peu comme une mère aussi qui nous guide et nous apprend à nous découvrir à travers les scénarios que l'on souhaite écrire.

For me it was a beautiful experience. At the beginning I was not really convinced this type of course was for me, I was always afraid to write, not knowing what to write or where to start. From our first session Sophie knows how to get the best out of you. She knows exactly how to bring you to your inner voice, giving you wings to fly to your imagination and to a story that couldn't come out in any other way.
Thanks so much Sophie.

Sophie’s advice really helped us to turn our script from a good project to something exciting.
The report that Sophie produced on our script was brilliant. We couldn’t have found the quality that we did without her.
