Sophie White is a novelist, essayist and podcaster from Dublin. She is the author of seven books and is the current Arts Council Writer-in-Residence at DCU.

Her fifth book, the bestselling memoir Corpsing, was shortlisted for an Irish Book Award and the Michel Déon Prize for non-fiction. Sophie’s sixth book, Where I End, won her the Shirley Jackson Award in July 2023 and was described as “brilliantly visceral” by the Guardian and “exquisite and disturbing, brutish and beautifully crafted” by the Irish Times. Her seventh book and fifth novel, My Hot Friend, came out in May 2023.

Sophie writes a weekly column ‘Nobody Tells You’ for the Sunday Independent LIFE magazine and her journalism has been nominated for numerous media awards. TV adaptations of her first two books are in development and she co-hosts the chart-topping comedy podcasts, Mother of Pod and The Creep Dive.
