Sophie W.

Scriptwriting, Game Writing & Developer | Copywriter & UGC Creator

Warfield, United Kingdom
$35 per hour
2 jobs
$200+ total earnings

I'm Sophie A filmmaker, script reader, copywriter, UGC creator, QA tester and interactive narrative designer with professional experience in scriptwriting, story development, and interactive storytelling across film, PC games, and mobile-first platforms. My background spans narrative design for visual novels, branching dialogue systems, and emotionally driven scripts for both interactive and traditional formats. I’ve worked with platforms like Tales: Choose Your Own Story and Twistmax, where I crafted complex narrative structures, character arcs, and premium-choice mechanics designed for player engagement and retention. At Microsoft HQ in Reading, I worked as a Quality Assurance Tester, where I was responsible for testing Xbox games and software builds to identify bugs, verify gameplay functionality, and ensure stability across platforms. This role required meticulous attention to detail, clear documentation, and strong communication with development teams to track, report, and support the resolution of technical issues. As a script reader at Pinewood Studios (Lift-Off), I’ve created coverage company facing and writer feedback for over 200+ projects , reviewing and assessing screenplays across various formats, from features and TV pilots to shorts, honing my editorial eye for structure, character, plot, pacing, and dialogue. My storytelling practice is grounded in emotional clarity, genre flexibility, and a deep understanding of player/viewer experience. I’m equally comfortable writing solo or collaborating with artists, designers, and directors to shape story, character, and tone across formats including games, apps, screen, and immersive media.

Professional Content Writer

Hey there. First of all, thanks for checking me out. I’m Will. I write blogs, copy, content, and how-to-style eBooks. I love to write about health, diet, marketing, SEO, lifestyle, dating and eCommerce in particular. I like to think I'm good at what I do. My 100% score attests to that. If you want further proof, I’ve got samples to send you. A heap of them. Moreover, I understand every aspect of SEO, including the importance of internal and external links. This means I don't need to be trained-up on those things. I like to write engaging, free-flowing copy that makes your reader feel GOOD. I love what I do. I have fun doing it. Heck, I have a ball! This is good news for you. When a writer loves what they do - when it’s a passion - you get barnstorming copy that makes people do what you want them to do. Whether that’s buy from you or just stay on the page. Interested? I’m in a position where I’m super selective about what work I take on because I know there are things I can do very well … … and things I can’t do. If, however, you need engaging, from-the-hip, catchy content that entertains and informs your reader, we should probably talk. I meet deadlines. I produce quality. Sound good?!
