This is the pre-order page for the signed edition ofSophie, Standing Thereby Meg Mason. Your order will be fulfilled upon publication: 27th August 2026.

Sophie Pattison is a lovely person warm, kind, relentlessly positive. She’s cherished by her brother Laurie, adored by her best friend Emma and valued by her colleagues. Sometimes, its true, one day in her life can feel like the entire month of January.

Its also true she can go an entire day without speaking. But she’s fine really. She spends her time alone reading, finding comfort in the pages of the books she devours.

Until one day she stumbles upon an author she hasnt read in years. Her books, interviews and podcasts soon become a lifeline; every word is a solace, company she hasn’t felt in so long. It’s almost like love.

A lot like love. And Sophie would love to meet the author, although she never will obviously. In a way, thank goodness, because that would change everything.

Sophie’s entire life. Wouldnt it? Hilariously candid and raw, Sophie, Standing There is a bittersweet story of love, loneliness and finding connection in the most unlikely of places.
