Zoë Skoulding has lived in north Wales since 1991, having previously grown up in East Anglia and worked in India. She taught English in Colwyn Bay until 2004. In 2005 she completed a PhD at the University of Wales, Bangor, where she is now AHRC Research Fellow in Creative and Performing Arts in the School of English, and Co-ordinator for part-time literature and writing courses in the College of Education and Lifelong Learning.

She has been involved in several cross–art form collaborations, including Parking Non-Stop, a recording and performance project combining poetry with music and experimental soundscapes. Her work has been translated into French, Bulgarian, Bosnian, German, Norwegian, Slovenian, Czech, Polish and Slovak and has been performed internationally. Her collection The Mirror Trade was published by Seren in 2004. In 2005 she was awarded an Academi bursary to work on Remains of a Future City (Seren, 2008).

She launched the literary magazine Skald in 1994 and co-edited it with Ian Davidson from 2002 onwards. In 2008 she became Editor of Poetry Wales.
