Sofie Gustafsson

@fantasiskribenten

My name is Sofie Gustafsson and I am a 38-year-old woman. I was born and raised on the west coast of Sweden and still live there with my two sons. I work as a service manager at a large service company and am in charge of the local care delivery on site. In my spare time, I not only write books, but also do weight training and play some computer games.

 

Reading and writing books has been a passion of mine for the past few years, and as a writer, my ultimate goal is to create stories that touch and stay in the hearts of readers long after they have read the last page.

 

So let my imagination enchant you and take you on an unforgettable journey filled with friendship, love and passion.
 

Five quick with me

🌸 When did you start writing?
After many years of reading, I wanted to write my book. In 2021, my little sister gave me a tip, to write on an app, Wattpad. It was like a door opened for me, an opportunity to not only get closer to my passion, but also to reach other readers and even build a following. Without hesitation, I began my journey with Wattpad and started writing my stories there.

🌸 What inspires you to write?
My own imagination and my readers! When I sit down to write a story, I don't chase details or plan too much. Instead, I let the words flow freely from my mind. My imagination is my best friend, my readers are my faithful companions.

🌸 Who is your literary role model?
Margit Sandemo, her book series Sagan om isfolket was the one that got me interested in reading. There was something special about her ability to weave together history, romance and supernatural elements in a way that made it impossible for me to put her books down.

🌸 How do you find your characters?
The main characters are often the only thing I have with me when I start writing a book. They are like a spark of inspiration that grows and develops over time. And the more I write, the more characters appear and form in my mind. It's when I start writing and exploring their lives and worlds that they really take shape and come alive for me.

🌸 Who helps you with your writing?
When I started my journey as a writer, I was hesitant and unsure of my ability to create something meaningful and interesting. But I had two invaluable supporters in my family, my little sister and my niece. Now I look with pride and gratitude at all that I have accomplished. I will always carry their support in my heart and remember that they were the first to believe in me when I started this amazing journey of writing. Today it is my closest friend who helps and supports me. She has been my sounding board, encourager and support throughout the process. Her help has been invaluable. I have also received great support from my publisher.
