Hello, I'm Shonda Whitworth

I've been honing my writing craft since 2008 when I attended my first Christian writer's conference.

I've written hundreds of articles for blogs, online columns, newspapers, and magazines. In 2013, I self-published a Bible study called, Wild Grace: Experiencing Your Spiritual Splendor, which is presently unpublished. In 2020, my book, Appeal to the Courtroom of Heaven: Petitions for Prisoners and Prison Families was released by Iron Stream Media.

For several years, I served on staff with a writer's conference as an assistant editor and conference staff at the annual conference.

For more than eight years, I worked as Production Manager for two Christian publishers where my responsibilities were to work with authors, editors, agents, typesetters, and cover designers to take the manuscript and turn it into a book--both print and ebooks, so they were ready for the market place.

I have helped hundreds of authors make their dream of publishing a book a reality.

I look forward to working with you to make your writing & publishing dreams a reality!
