Meet Sophie Torro
Sophie Torro is a young emerging Canadian author. To date, she has published 12 fantasy adventure novels for the 9-12 year old demographic, with many more to follow. She also created an educational children’s book series that is self-illustrated. Sophie is proud to be a contributing Travel Writer for TraveLife Magazine, one of North America’s largest travel magazines.
How did it all Start?
It was during a family vacation to San Francisco when 11-year-old Sophie fell in love with a small grey pigeon at Fisherman’s Wharf. He wasn’t as big as the others, and didn’t have all his talons on one foot, but he held his own hobbling around to get crumbs. Later that night, as she crossed the Golden Gate Bridge, Sophie’s adventure fantasy world of SkyTalons began to soar. During the flight home, she wrote down all of her ideas for the storyline, and created the dynamic characters that would live within her bird world.
In 2019 -- when she was 15 years old -- she published her first novel!
