Peter James, author
"Sophie Ransom was my principal publicist for many years and I owe a huge part of the success of my novels to her sheer hard work and dogged determination to get the best interviews whether in newspapers, magazines, radio, television or online. She would never take no for an answer and so very frequently got a “yes!" that astonished and thrilled me. She is a one-off and very simply one of the very best in the business. She played a major role in taking each of my Roy Grace crime thrillers to the number 1 spot from 2010 to 2018." Peter James Sunday Times no 1 bestseller

Publicity Director, Quercus
Sophie provides meticulous feedback to the publisher she is working with. I feel that I am fully across both her work in progress and impressive publicity achieved. I trust Sophie implicitly with campaign work and am always impressed by her speed of response, fair attitude and diligent approach to campaign work. Her author care is exemplary and she really does go above and beyond, I feel lucky to work with her’.
Gordon Wise,

"I have known Sophie Ransom as a publicity and communications professional for over 25 years, who has worked with my authors in corporate, agency and independent settings achieving superb results through extremely effective campaigns. She offers support and reassurance to authors and publishers alike – let alone authors’ agents – and her extensive list of contacts, who trust that she brings them honed content of real quality, is as wide ranging as it is specialised."
