About Zoe Pleasants

Zoe is local writer who moved to Canberra in 2003. Once she got here she set about uncovering what this town has to offer, and found that a great way to do this is by writing about it. Over the years Zoe has developed a keen interest in Canberra’s burgeoning arts scene and loves watching a locally written play, or listening to a home-grown musician.
