This is my fourth and final year as a combined major in Creative Writing & Cultural Studies. My biggest source of inspiration comes from the people I love and observing the world around me. My aim is to inspire and uplift others with both my art & legacy.<\/p>\n

VP of Events\u00a0(Creative Writing Course Union)<\/span><\/h5>\n

I\u2019m Rielle, and I\u2019m a 5th-year Creative Writing major interested in film and TV writing. Having grown up watching cheesy cable drama soap operas, most of my writing now falls within the drama genre, and I\u2019m particularly focused on crafting character-driven narratives! I\u2019m currently chipping away at a pilot episode spec script for what I, one day, hope to be my very own television series!<\/p>\n

Hi! I’m Sophia (she\/her), the Events Coordinator! I mainly write psychological horror and thrillers, but I’ve been recently dabbling with splashes of romance. I’m currently working on a novel on British people who should probably go to therapy and the occult.<\/p>\n
