“Sophie has been amazingly helpful in setting up my Substack. I can get so in my head and perfectionist about things, so it was a huge help (and time-saver!) to have Sophie creating visuals, templates and bios/descriptions that feel really in keeping with what I want my Substack to be.

Sophie really knows her way around Substack and showed me lots of tasks that she’d completed – from tagging content to drafting my About page – that I didn’t even know were things I needed to do! Thanks for everything, Sophie :)”

How It Works

  1. Enquiry Form:

    Due to limited availability, I only work with a small number of clients each month. To get started, fill out the enquiry form linked below. This helps me understand your goals and determine if we’re a good fit.

  2. Let’s meet!
    We’ll have a quick 15 minute chat via Zoom/Teams/Google Meet (whichever you’re comfortable with) to get to know each other, clarify any details and set the terms of our time together.

  3. Before starting work.

    After our call, I will be in touch with an invoice and our agreed terms, so that you know what to expect and when. The invoice MUST be paid before the date I start work.

  4. Completing the work.
    Once I have everything I need I’ll get to work setting up your Substack publication.

  5. Review & Revisions:

    You’ll have the chance to review your Substack and we’ll tweak it until you’re 100% happy.

  6. Launch with Confidence:

    You’re ready to share your Substack with the world!
