Sunday 12th December is the date for a special brunch being held at Embargo on Byres Road where Sophie Gravia will shares hilarious anecdotes from her laugh-out-loud local bestselling book about modern dating. A Glasgow Kiss is “filthy, foul-mouthed, funny and painfully relatable”, from the writer of the Sex in the Glasgow City blog.
Even though her work as a nurse meant gruelling shifts working in hospital and being a mum, Sophie found time to write the book, find her own editor and illustrator, she then self-published on Amazon.
Sophie Gravia said: “I’m thrilled to be taking part in this special brunch event at Embargo where I’ll be doing a short reading and looking forward to doing a q+a with journalist Carla Jenkins, it’ll be fun and I’ll be signing copies of my book too – it’s the perfect Christmas present for your girlfriends!”
Callum Raymond Young, GM of Embargo said: “This Christmas we wanted to support a local charity and we’ll be donating £5 from every ticket sold to Beatson Cancer Charity, it’s going to be a fun filled brunch, that’s for sure!”
Joyce Ross, Fundraiser at Beatson Cancer Charity said: “We’re delighted to be supported by the team at Embargo and look forward to hearing from Sophie and finding out how she combines being a mum, nurse and writing a best-selling novel.”
Tickets priced £25 are on sale now and include a choice of two drinks, from this list – Prosecco, Aperol Spritz, Mimosa, Bloody Mary, Asahi Bottle – and a brunch dish, either Asian Florentine, Salt Beef Benedict or Smashed Avocado and Tofu Bao Buns.
The event runs from 9.30am-12.30 and tickets priced £25 and includes brunch and two drinks. £5 from every ticket goes to Beatson Cancer Charity.

Sophie, from Bellshill has always had a love for the English language. At a young age, she found herself writing funny stories or poems to friends and family for special occasions, and after high school she undertook a performing arts diploma, flourishing in her creative writing class. Sophie now works full time as a nurse in a busy city hospital.
In 2020, Sophie started writing again as a distraction from the ongoing pandemic, cheered on by fans of her blog, ‘Sex in the Glasgow City’. A Glasgow Kiss, her debut novel, shot straight to number one in the erotic charts and has been a word-of-mouth sensation ever since.
