Sophie Jo

Biography

Sophie Jo is the author of RED FLAGS (Scholastic, 2025). After being selected for the Madeleine Milburn Literary Agency’s 2020 mentorship scheme, her debut YA novel THE NICEST GIRL was published by UCLan in 2022.

Sophie’s passionate about making sure teenagers know how to recognise the difference between healthy and unhealthy relationships. She’s worked with domestic violence charity Women’s Aid to spread the word via the Sunday Times, Cosmopolitan and BBC Woman’s Hour.

In her spare time, Sophie likes visiting Disneyland, over-analysing cult 00s TV show The OC, and writing about relationships – of all kinds – for publications including Breathe Magazine and the Metro. She lives in the very centre of England with her partner and a shy-but-kooky calico cat.
