Sophie Dumont is a Bristol-based poet and copywriter for two charities. She trained to be a Canoe and Kayak Coach in Bristol and the Brecon Beacons and was accredited on her 16th birthday, making her briefly the youngest coach in the UK. Sophie's work has been published widely and has been broadcasted on BBC Radio Bristol. In 2019, Sophie won Bristol's Hammer & Tongue Poetry Slam. Sophie's poetry has been shortlisted for the Fish Poetry Prize 2021, the SaveAs Writers' International Writing Competition 2021 and twice for the Bridport Prize. In 2018, she was appointed poet-in-residence on Bristol Harbour by Boat Poets and toured her work in Bristol's Arnolfini, Plymouth's Barbican and London's Southbank Centre. From 2015-2020, Sophie was writer-in-residence and voice artist for Riptide, an immersive theatre company in Leeds. She wrote three productions, including an app-based experience using GPS satellite navigation, consisting of a 360° binaural sound walk along the river Aire. In 2021, Sophie was awarded a place on the Genesis Jewish Book Week Emerging Writers' Programme, on which she was mentored by George Szirtes. In summer 2022, she was awarded writer-in-residence at Exeter Custom House by Literature Works. Sophie co-runs Satellite of Love - a monthly poetry night aboard a lightship in Bristol's harbour.
