About The Webinar

Welcome to the start of Build Your Book month. Our yearly program of events sets October aside to give you a whistle-stop tour of writing a novel from start to finish.

For this session, we’ll be looking at Act 1 of your novel, where Sophie Flynn, psychological thriller author and Managing Director of Jericho Writers, will deliver a workshop that will help you kickstart the beginning of your story.

Sophie Flynn
Sophie is a Cotswolds-based psychological thriller author with an MA in Creative Writing from Oxford Brookes. Her debut novel  ALL MY LIES  was published by Simon & Schuster in April 2021. She has since had more psychological thrillers published by Hera, mostly recently  WHAT STAYS UNSAID  (May, 2024).

Alongside writing, Sophie is the Managing Director of   Jericho Writers. After being awarded a place at   Swanwick Writers’ Summer School    on the TopWrite scheme for young writers in 2017, Sophie began writing short fiction. She has since had many   stories published   and placed in competitions with organisations such as Writing Magazine and The Cheltenham Literature Festival.

​​​​​​​When not writing, Sophie can be mostly found on muddy walks with her husband and rescue dog or disappearing to Cornwall whenever possible.
