With Shelley Wilson.....Author And Writing Mentor

Shelley Wilson is a writing mentor and multi-genre author of over twenty books.

She helps new writers get their book idea out of their head and onto the page. She describes herself as an accountability Yoda!

After running a successful holistic business for seven years, she was bitten by a spider, which triggered all sorts of medical issues. She had to close that business and turn her ‘hobby’ of writing into her main source of income.

She had been writing stories since she was about 8, and 'be an author' had always been on my dream list. She didn't know how to make it happen back then! In 2013, she started blogging for her holistic spa audience and grew to over 200,000 readers. 

The blog was about 52 New Year's Resolutions she set herself. After the year was over, she turned the blog series into a book and self-published it in 2014. It shot to number one on Amazon's bestseller list in self-help and women's biographies. She then self-published more novels before signing a ten-book deal with an American publisher. She worked with them for nine years until June 2025, when they closed down, and thirteen of her books vanished from all sales platforms. She got the rights back for her books and is in the process of launching her own publishing imprint to republish her back catalogue. She's written over 20 books in self-help, memoir, children's meditation, young adult fantasy, historical fiction, and romance. 

She built her writing mentor business through networking. She would attend events to showcase her books and be asked every time, 'Where do you start when you want to write a book?' She's  always happy to help and would tell people she met what to do. A business coach told her she should be charging for all this information, and so Shelley Wilson Writing Mentor was born! 

She's won two awards with her writing mentor business, and in 2025 her latest novel, Floating Solo (her debut romance), was a finalist in the Romantic Novelists' Association Awards and the Book Bloggers Novel of the Year Award. 

Everything that's happened in Shelley's life has helped her become the woman she is today, and she refuses to see change as a bad thing! 

As a multi-genre author, she uses her ten years of writing, publishing, and marketing experience to guide and support her clients.

She confesses to being a word nerd with an unhealthy obsession for exclamation marks!!! However, she channels all that nerdiness into helping her clients write their books and boost their visibility.
