Zoe King - Freelance Writer/Editor
I've been writing on and off for many years; my first published piece appearing in The
Daily Mirror when I was 16 years old. During the following 20 years or so, I spent my
days woolgathering while working in a variety of jobs. I never stopped writing, but my
output was sporadic. Eventually, after working in a bookshop for four years, I took the
decision to turn to writing full time.
Writing isn’t ‘work’, it’s a passion. Many of those who do it will tell you they do it
because they ‘can’t not’, and it’s fair to say I’m at my happiest and most fulfilled when
I’m in the midst of a group of fellow writing nutcases, discussing books, the words that
make them, the whole creative process.
I belong to several writing organisations, including the Society of Women Writers &
Journalists, of which I am a fomer Chair, and the Society of Authors.
