Tufnell Park Writers: Sophie Shorland

Join the Tufnell Park Writers on Wednesday 7 May from 7pm for our next meeting to hear from Sophie Shorland about her journey to publication and experiences with foreign rights.

Sophie Shorland has a PhD in early modern literature, with a focus on the cultural history of the late Elizabethan and Jacobean periods. A former Research Fellow at the University of Warwick, she is interested in queenship, celebrity, and the geopolitics of the past. In 2019, she was a semi-finalist in the BBC New Generation Thinkers programme. In 2020, she was shortlisted for the Tony Lothian Prize for a first-time biography proposal. Her biography of Catherine of Braganza, The Lost Queen, was published in the UK by Atlantic Books in June 2024 and by Pegasus in the US.

We will meet at the Lord Palmerston, 33 Dartmouth Park Hill, London NW5 1HU. All members welcome.
