You’re here because you’ve been stuck in the “dream” stage. Your message is there, burning in your heart—but something’s holding you back.
Maybe it’s overwhelm, self-doubt, or not knowing where to start. Trust me, I’ve been there. You’re not alone.
Did you know that 81% of people say they want to write a book, but only 1% actually publish? The question is: Which group do you want to belong to?
Are you tired of feeling stuck in this endless cycle of inspiration and stagnation?
My friend, I get it. I've been there too! And I feel your pain!
For years, I painfully endured people asking, “Shonda, when are you going to finish that book?”
You do have a life-changing book inside you—a story God has placed on your heart to share. It’s time to break free from indecision and inaction. It’s time to turn your mess into your message.
When you work with me, we’ll partner together to:
Create a personalize roadmap for your book
Provide the tools, support, and accountability you need to succeed.
Help you grow not just as a writer, but as a person—spiritually, emotionally, and holistically.
As someone who’s walked this path myself—and helped countless others do the same—I’ll guide you every step of the way. Together, we’ll transform your journey into a compelling, impactful book that resonates with readers and changes lives.
My name is Shonda Whitworth.
There was a time when I almost gave up on my calling as a writer—
There’s nothing worse than feeling overwhelmed and frustrated trying to write your first book, knowing God called you to do this.
So many ideas tumble around in your head like clothes in the dryer for days on end. But now that you actually sit at your computer, your mind goes just as blank as the document in front of you with the flashing cursor.
You've read books, taken courses, and followed the blogs of authors on how to write a book, but your mind is spinning like a tornado scattering your thoughts. And you have no idea how you'll ever recompose those thoughts, organize them, and get some momentum.
That was right after my son crash landed in prison.
My world upside down and I felt overwhelming shame as a mom.
Sound familiar?
You may not have an incarcerated son, but something traumatic may have impacted your life.
Like you, I felt paralyzed by fear, shame, and self-doubt.
Writing articles and blogs seemed doable, but pouring my soul into a book? That felt impossible.
Then everything changed.
God sent mentors who showed me how to shatter those barriers and specific strategies to conquer the limiting beliefs.
The result? I wrote my book, Appeal to the Courtroom of Heaven, and now there are over 44,000 copies in print across the US!
As someone who’s walked this path myself—and helped countless others do the same—I’ll guide you every step of the way. Together, we’ll transform your journey into a compelling, impactful book that resonates with readers and changes lives.
You’ll not only become a published author—you’ll become an inspiration.
With personalized hot-seat coaching tailored just for you—available every week as part of your membership—you'll get the tools and support you need to succeed.
No more generic, one-size-fits-all advice! This is strategically designed to get you the results you've been looking for.
With my mentorship, you will finally be able to say goodbye to second-guessing like:
▪️ Am I on the right path?
▪️ Is this the best way to phrase this?
That's the level of targeted, personalized guidance you'll experience with the Kingdom Living Writers Membership.
Together, we'll unlock the writer within you, propelling you from the vast 81% who only dream, into the elite 6% who finish their draft, and ultimately into the 1% who actually publish.
I'll work closely with you to:
▪️ Develop your unique writing vision
▪️ Refine your message and build your author brand
▪️ Guide you through each stage of the writing process—from outlining to launching your book with confidence.
Isn't it time you finally started realizing your writing potential?

Wow, just wow! I've completed over 20,000 words and 17 chapters. Your encouragement and guidance have been invaluable. I couldn't have done this without her. Otherwise, I might have spent years staring at the screen, never completing what God called me to write. Thank you!
The wisdom that God graced Shonda with of understanding the in's and out's of book publishing is a breath of fresh air. She is definitely kingdom-minded and wants to see the Kingdom of God grow.
Shonda's leadership is EXCEPTIONAL! She has a wealth of writing and publishing knowledge, but more importantly, she genuinely CARES about her students. Whether you're new to writing or a seasoned author, her ability to inspire and guide is nothing short of a BLESSING.
Working with Shonda is like strapping a rocket to your writing career. In just a few months, I've progressed more than I had in the last two DECADES. Her tough love, prayers, and passion banish fear and writer's block, helping writers fulfill their calling.
If you’re even remotely interested in writing, I WHOLEHEARTEDLY recommend Shonda as a writing coach—she’s an absolute Godsend.
I’m impressed by Shonda’s knowledge of the publishing business, how much time she had spent working in various aspects of the business, and how she was able to help move forward in writing, but also in the business aspects of an author. She’s down to earth, approachable, and a form of therapy for a writer who was struggling to bring a difficult story to life. I look forward to finishing my first draft alongside her and the other great people in her membership, and publishing my book! I highly recommend this membership for anyone struggling to put pen to paper.
This is actually an answer to prayer! I’ve attended writing seminars that gave me the physicalities of writing. But when you write a book, the book also writes you. I had all the tools, but I didn’t know how things fit together or where to start. I did not have the coaching aspect behind it technicalities. Shonda’s coaching is an answer to prayer as she breaks everything down. This membership is a 10 out of 10.
Shonda is gentle with newbies. If she gets frustrated, she never shows it and has patience. She has the ability to tap into every learning style for anyone who attends any of her sessions. The processes she established are seamless from the payment to accessing the replays.
Shonda is very knowledgeable about this industry and God has called her to do this. The group coaching setting prepared me for what I’ll be going through with the book itself.
