I first interviewed Zoe Lea in September 2022 and you can read the original interview here:

"When I learned that most authors have to get another job that pays, it was a huge disappointment."

What’s changed?

In the last two years, my business has grown, and I’ve been really lucky with it.

When we last spoke, I think the majority of my work was in offering social media strategy and I’ve since expanded into copywriting and niched down to working with high-end brands and experience-based businesses, and I absolutely love it.

I also finally finished my book (digital copy out in November, thanks for the plug!) and am writing another, but for a while, it was tricky trying to balance my fiction writing with my other stuff.

I went through a stage of saying yes to everything.
