Sophie Atherton is a qualified journalist who’s been in the business nearly 20 years. For the last few years her day job has mostly been writing about beer and pubs, but she used to work in conservation (both as a journalist for the RSPB and as a practical volunteer for the Wildlife Trust of South & West Wales and others) and before that she was a newspaper and radio reporter. She is returning to writing about nature (especially birds), the environment and women's rights issues. Any support you give will help bring her writing on these topics to a wider audience. Thanks in advance!
