A childhood pen grab, a plagiarism accusation, and a one-cent bank balance eventually led Zena Shapter to one important truth: the best career move is the one that keeps you closest to your real voice. The award-winning author joins StoryCentric to trace her winding journey from poetry-obsessed kid to trademark lawyer, copywriter, and novelist, including the moment she realized she’d “sold her soul” to the wrong profession. We dig into finding your authentic writing voice, writing for story rather than genre, building immersive science-fantasy worlds, and how adapting novels for the screen can make you a sharper writer. Zena also talks candidly about money, persistence, creative fulfillment, and the long game of becoming the writer you’re actually meant to be.
