Welcome to The Writer’s Guide To…
Hello!
I’m Zoe Lea. I’m a trad published author of three psychological thrillers, If He Wakes and The Secretary and Closer Than She Thinks
Living in the Lake District with my family, dogs, and a falcon or two (mostly my husband's), I'm powered by coffee and a passion for helping writers thrive.
If you're a writer or author who loves crafting stories but dreads the self-promotion grind, the endless scrolling, algorithm battles, and figuring out how to actually sell books, then you're in the right place.
The Writer's Guide to... isn't just a newsletter; it's your growth and marketing platform for turning chaos into connection and visibility.
Every Friday, get actionable systems and hacks delivered straight to your inbox: from Instagram strategies that grow your email list by 2x, to building a reader community that buys your books, to navigating Substack for passive income. No fluff, just real tactics I've used to sell thousands of books and attract loyal fans.
