don’t worry i have unsubscribed from hope

After studying film and sound design at the Royal College of Art, Sophie Taylor pursued a career in copywriting from a long standing passion. Whilst freelancing as a writer (and agony aunt) for publications such as Reader’s Digest, Taylor began writing poetry and prose to read aloud to her rescue dog.
