Testimonials
My first book would not have reached its full potential without Shelly’s input. Her insight, masterful editing help, and encouragement throughout the process were priceless. I would highly recommend Shelly to anyone who has a children’s book idea and needs a strong leader to guide the way through the self publishing process.

Author of Dorje the Yak
Shelly’s knowledge and sensibility of what makes a well-loved children’s book is priceless! She was so supportive and patient in bringing my book to life. Shelly guided me through every aspect of the process and did all the heavy lifting that was keeping me from publishing the book myself. I feel so lucky to have found her!
Marrielle Monte Canales
Author of Magic Thinking for Kids
As a first time author, I needed someone to guide me through the entire process of writing a children’s book. Shelly Wilhelm took my original draft, which was essentially a pile of ideas and turned it into the story I originally imagined. It wasn’t easy and at times I felt like quitting. Shelly was patient but also pushed me when I needed it. I highly recommend Shelly Wilhelm to anyone thinking about writing and or publishing a children’s book.

My phenomenal team at My Word took me from ‘I think (maybe) I can publish my children’s picture book,’ to a first place win (and second place!) for Best Children’s Book at the EVVY Awards.
