Need help with a writing project?
Since I began teaching creative writing, I’ve often been asked whether I offer one-to-one mentoring or in-depth feedback on writing projects. In response to that growing interest, I’ve developed a new mentorship program designed for writers seeking focused, personalised guidance.
If you only require editorial feedback on your writing without wanting to commit to a mentoring program, see the Manuscript Assessment Sessions below.
Why work with me?
Because I’ve spent over a decade living the writing life — not just dreaming it.
I hold both a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in Creative Writing from the University of Arts in Berlin, and over the past five years I’ve published three books of literary essays. I’ve developed systems and strategies that help me finish work consistently — and I teach those to others.
Over the past three years, I’ve guided over 60 students through my writing classes, many of whom have gone on to publish, perform, or simply build a more confident and joyful writing practice.
I have a strong editorial eye and a sharp sense for what a piece of writing needs. Whether it’s clarity, rhythm, structure, or emotional depth, I can quickly identify what’s missing and help shape the work into its strongest form.
Most of all, I believe writing can be taught. You don’t need to wait for “inspiration” or suffer alone — the process can be supported, refined, and shared.
1:1 Mentoring Sessions
Finally start your writing project, finish that book and become the writer you want to be.
Sessions are conducted via video call, scheduled flexibly to suit both our calendars.
Availability: I work with only a small number of mentees each year to ensure each writer receives thoughtful and engaged attention. If you're interested, please book your spot as soon as possible.

Testimonials of former students:
"Joining Sophia's essay class was definitely one of my better ideas this year. Sophia creates an atmosphere of creativity, trust and honesty during the sessions, which makes it really easy to dive in and show up fully - even as a rather introverted person. Apart from the great insights and theoretical details we discussed in the group, my personal highlight was the encouraging and empowering feedback that really made a huge difference in my writing and helped me to create something I am proud of."
Ines Wotsch
“Sophia's class is a breath of fresh air. The sessions are inspiring, nurturing and informative, and her advice is broad (and highly knowledgable) yet tailored to the individual and their specific writing goals. Her enthusiasm for her craft is infectious, and she genuinely wants to see us succeed with our writing. I highly recommend it!”
Lucy Siddall
This writing class not only provides a great structure, but also accompanies you in a step-by-step approach through the process of writing. Above all, it helps you to take your ideas and writing plans seriously.”
Fabian Hartje
“The essay class is a great way to motivate yourself, find a sense of community and get some invaluable insights into the writing process and how others deal with its challenges. I'm glad I am a part of it. Getting to know so many other inspiring writers, each with their own stories to tell, is probably the best bit. I can't wait to read the end result of everyone's labour.”
Tun de Jong
“I came to Sophia's workshop by way of Instagram and her memoir "Things I have loved", which was a thing I loved! So, I jumped at the chance to join her workshop. I found the first session super informative and generative, particularly the breakdown of different essay structures and ideas for prompts. The second session was amazing; hearing the submissions from the other participants and giving and receiving feedback - was pretty inspiring. I enjoyed the experience so much that I signed up for the June Session: "Writing Our Hearts Out", and June cannot come fast enough. I'd recommend Sophia's workshops to anyone curious about starting a writing practice or to more established writers looking for a welcoming place to exchange ideas.”
