Hellooo, and welcome to Season 10 of Mads World! You're about to listen to When Love Gets Lit: Writing Romantic Comedy Fiction with Sophie Gravia!

This week I am joined by best-selling author, Sophie Gravia. Sophie grew up in a town just outside Glasgow and has always had a love for the English language. At a young age, she found herself writing funny stories or poems to friends and family for special occasions, and after high school, she undertook a performing arts diploma, flourishing in her creative writing class. Sophie now works full-time as a nurse in a busy city hospital.

In 2020, Sophie started writing again as a distraction from the ongoing pandemic, cheered on by fans of her hilarious blog: Sex in the Glasgow City.

Sophie is now the author of three best-selling novels. Her first book ‘A Glasgow Kiss’ quickly became an overnight sensation as it topped the number one spot on Amazon, and her second sequel novel ‘What Happens in Dubai’ shot straight to number one in the charts. Sophie’s third book ‘Meet Me in Milan’ was released in August this year!

In this episode, we discuss Sophie's journey as a writer, how she finds the inspiration to write romantic comedy fiction, what she loves about the genre, her writing process, creating authentic characters, and approaching deeper themes without overshadowing the core of her stories.
