Sophie White

A regular contributor to IMAGE, Sophie White is a journalist, podcaster and author. Her first work of fiction will be published by Hachette Ireland in September. “This month,

I’ll mostly be on the shameless self-promotion

buzz as my second book and first novel, Filter This,

hits the shelves. Before ever having to do interviews

and the like, I always thought (mega narcissist that I am) I would love going

on and on about myself, but alas it is, in actual fact,

an ick-fest of the highest order. Afterwards, I always feel like I’ve just set a new record for dumbest things said in public and have a strong urge to set fire to myself.” Read her column on rejection on page 160.
