Short story writers: Sophie King

Sophie King is the author of the best-selling novels The School Run and Mums @ Home, both of which are published by Hodder & Stoughton in paperback, £6.99. Her latest novel is The Wedding Party.

Sophie's books are aimed at teenagers, mums and grans or anyone else who can identify with a chaotic family life. Sophie has three children, a dog, a cat and a sleepy terrapin – all of whom make her laugh or cry, depending on how she feels.

Sophie has a pen name to distinguish her novels from her journalism. As Jane Bidder, she has written for The Times, The Daily Telegraph, The Daily Express, The Daily Mail, Woman, Woman’s Weekly, My Weekly, Good Housekeeping and many other national publications.
