| Submission declined on 31 December 2024 by Theroadislong (talk). This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia. Declined by Theroadislong 5 days ago. | |

Sophia Conway is an Irish poet, author, and photographer, who immigrated to Canada in 2019[1]. Her faith, motherhood, and experience as an immigrant to Canada heavily inspire her creative work. [1]
Poetry

She is a member of the League of Canadian Poets.[6]. Her debut poetry book Someday Somewhere Beautiful will be published in 2025 by Alabaster Leaves Publishing.[1]
Photography
[edit]Her photography has been published alongside her poetry [7] and in December 2024 she released her first photography series[8] entitled Shelf Memories; which she has described as a nostalgic photo series that explores the relationship between giver and recipient through the medium of books given as gifts. [5]
Writing
[edit]She self-published her first novella His Last Companion in 2023. [9] Her first essay What Found Poetry Can Teach Us About Life With God with the Clayjar Review [10] was well received and her second essay Loving Our Imprisoned Neighbors published with Love is Moving Magazine [11] was heavily inspired by her community letter writing work [12] and led to her being selected as the magazines November 2024 Artists Spotlight.[13]
