Meet Sheila

Sheila J. Brooks, RN, BSN, is an award-winning author, accomplished poet and sought-after speaker whose work is rooted in a powerful message: even when life presents seemingly insurmountable obstacles, resilience can carry us forward.

Her memoir, On the Receiving End: A Memoir of a Nurse Who Met, Tackled, and Overcame Insurmountable Obstacles, chronicles Sheila’s remarkable journey through a lifetime of adversity and the courage, faith and determination that helped her persevere.

Drawing upon her background as a registered nurse, Sheila combines personal storytelling with an understanding of the physical and emotional realities that can accompany some of life’s most difficult experiences.

The result is an inspirational true story about the strength of the human spirit and our capacity to keep moving forward, even when the circumstances in front of us seem impossible.

Sheila had an important story to share. The challenge was finding enough time to get that story in front of the right audiences.

Like many authors, she knew media exposure could help increase awareness of her book, but determining which opportunities to pursue required significant research.

The Book Excellence Done For You PR Program offered Sheila a way to take that responsibility off her plate through a professionally managed, step-by-step process.

She joined with a clear goal: she wanted On the Receiving End to be highlighted across different media platforms and websites and to give her message an opportunity to reach more people.

The results of the Done For You PR Program extended beyond simply getting Sheila’s name and book in front of new audiences.

“The program has brought increased awareness to my memoir, increased visibility and sales…I was also asked to write a magazine interview as an authority figure.”

For Sheila, those outcomes represented several important milestones at once.

Her memoir gained greater exposure. She reported increased book sales. Media coverage helped strengthen her credibility as an author. And being approached to contribute a magazine interview as an authority figure created an opportunity to position her experience and perspective beyond the book itself.
