About

Sophia Conway (Christiana Sophia Conway, née McMaster) is a West Coast author and poet originating from the town of Westport on the West Coast of Ireland and now residing on Vancouver Island on the West Coast of Canada with her husband and young son. 

Coming from Maesteg (Wales, UK) to the Republic of Ireland as a child, her love for the written word began when she was forced to read introductory English language books in her school's program for children with learning disabilities (a misdiagnosis - she was and is simply stubborn!) As she grew in fluency, she fell in love with the poems and stories she read and began writing her own on her father's old computer long into the night. 

Marriage, motherhood, and immigration to Canada in her 20s inspired her to take her creative work more seriously, which led to her poems being widely published in magazines, anthologies and literary journals internationally, as well as two full-length poetry books, one novella, and several solo exhibitions.

Sophia's inspiration comes from nature, her Christian faith, her search for belonging as an immigrant, and her motherhood.

Whether you encounter her work in print, performance, or visual art, she hopes it meets you with compassion and leaves you feeling less alone as you journey on.
