She graduated from the University of Chichester with an MA in Creative Writing and was awarded a Distinction and the Kate Betts Memorial Prize. She is currently studying for a PhD in Creative Writing at the University of Chichester, examining witches in women’s poetry. In 2018, she was joint winner of the Indigo-First Collection Competition and her first collection, Hag, is published by Indigo Dreams Publishing. Her second collection 'Untold Fortunes' which the Podcast primarily discusses is published by Animal Heart Press and is described as "Women have long been connected to mythology and witchcraft, often as cautionary tales. Untold Fortunes explores the experiences of women of the past, both mythological and real, giving voice to many who were so often silenced. In history both ancient and modern, these poems tug women from the footnotes. Some are heroines, some monsters...or are they products of the circumstances society forced on them? And how do these echoes shape womanhood even now? In this powerful collection, poet Zoe Mitchell examines what it means to be a woman in the world, through lenses of past, present, and future."
