about Sophie Galleymore Bird

Sophie Galleymore Bird's first novel, Maneater, was a filthy feminist Frankenstein tale. Her second, To See The LIght Return, was written as a response to Brexit. She is currently working on a trilogy of eco-crime novels set in Cornwall and was recently offered a place to do an MA in Crime Writing Crime Fiction at the University of East Anglia. Between books she has worked as an editor, life model, fetish shop assistant, gardener, carer and temp, and as the marketing manager for a Cornish boatyard.

    She now helps small environmental businesses and charities with their communications and social media. She is passionate about the natural world and lives in South East Devon, in a wing of a mock-Gothic manse surrounded by wildlife. She shares her writing shed with shrews and has bats in her belfry.

Sophie was too overwhelmed by the magnitude of global environmental issues to be an activist, until she met the Transition movement; its local scale and focus on practical action were very appealing. In April 2019 she has surprised herself by helping take Waterloo Bridge as part of Extinction Rebellion. Since 2021 she has been working within the publishing industry to speed up its efforts to reduce emissions and its impact on biodiversity.
