Sophie Cousens is a successful author who has recently made her debut in the literary world with her first novel. Prior to her career as a writer, Cousens spent twelve years working in television, where she gained valuable experience and skills that have contributed to her success.
Cousens' background in television was spent producing a variety of popular shows, including The Graham Norton Show, Big Brother, Ant and Dec, and Russell Howard's Good News. During her time in the industry, she learned several important lessons, such as the value of knowing where the Post-it notes are kept and the ability to carry multiple coffee cups at once. These skills undoubtedly helped her survive and thrive in the fast-paced world of television production.
In addition to her practical skills, Cousens also gained valuable insights into the inner workings of the television industry. She discovered that wearing a lanyard made her appear more confident and capable, and that the phrase "let's action that!" could often inspire others to take on tasks that needed to be done. By observing and learning from those around her, Cousens became an accomplished and skilled producer.
Cousens now lives in Jersey with her husband Tim and their two young children. She has traded in the lanyard for a pen and paper, and has become a full-time writer. Her children provide her with endless inspiration and important questions, such as "did Cinderella have a toothbrush?" and "do giraffes know they have really long necks?" Cousens hopes to one day add a miniature dachshund to her family, but for now, she is content to focus on her writing and the joys of family life.
