About Shelley Hitz

I’m a “get it done” author coach who helps you get the first draft out of your head and onto paper in record time. Our publishing company has published 70 books since 2008 and I have personally authored over 50 of them.

“Shelley is today’s Dan Poynter. Her books and advice are golden. She shares the details of self-publishing plus great marketing tips. She is the real deal and her book, Self-Publishing Books 101, proves it.” – Scott Bilker

It All Started in Fifth Grade

I was first paid for my writing in fifth grade after winning a nonfiction writing contest. Little did I know I would resign from a 12-year career as a Physical Therapist over 20 years later to write and coach authors full-time.

Thousands of authors have been coached through my books, training programs, online events, seminars, and more. I have over a decade of experience speaking to groups of all sizes; from small workshops to keynote presentations in front of thousands. And I teach from personal experience, not theory. I have been writing and publishing books since 2008 and have personally authored over 40 books including print, e-book and audio book formats.

A Best-Selling Book

Are you ready to give birth to a best-selling book you can be proud of without spending thousands of dollars? If so, I can help. I teach authors how to self-publish through their own publishing company (hint: it’s easier than you think)!

Give Birth to Your Dreams

I would love to help you give birth to your dreams and reach more people with your message through writing, publishing and marketing your books inside my coaching program Christian Book Academy.

My goal is to help you finally take a step of faith so you can finish your book
