Meet Zoe Foster Blake - Brisbane City Hall

Hair stylist Kit Cooper is at the top of her game. She does the shows in Milan and Paris, tends to pop stars and celebrities, and has styled enough campaigns and magazines covers to last a lifetime. But Kit is ambitious. Restless. She can't help asking: what's next?

One day, frustrated she can't find the perfect product for a look, she wonders... could she make it herself?

Things Will Calm Down Soon takes Kit from idea to founder of a highly successful hair-care company. Amid spreadsheets, influencers, product launches and a parade of potential investors, Kit is juggling an eager young team, needy family members, a charismatic but unreliable romantic partner, single parenting and far too many school WhatsApp messages. She is certain, positive, things will calm down soon, because how can life possibly keep going at this pace?

As the founder of Go-To Skincare, Zoë Foster Blake has learned a lot in her business and will share these experiences and a lot more as she discusses her latest novel, Things Will Calm Down Soon.

Books will be available for purchase on the day from Dymocks Brisbane, or bring a copy from home to be signed.

Presented as part of the Lord Mayor's Writers in Residence series.
