Zoe simmons: in the media
my work in the media
As an experienced journalist, my work has been featured all over the globe.
And it’s not just work I’ve created. I’ve been interviewed and featured in news articles, on radio and podcasts, in documentaries and much more.
Typically, I talk about:
- Journalism (including ethical journalism)
- Disability (including mental health and chronic pain)
- SEO copywriting and editing
- What it was like to live through the 2019/2020 Black Summer bushfires
- Bushfire recovery
- Working (and writing) with trauma
- Animal rights and veganism
- The power of storytelling for advocacy
- The importance of rest and self-care
- How to run a business while living with chronic pain
And more (I’m a bit of an open book!)
