Soul Wisdom Press is an independent publishing house born from a simple yet powerful vision: to help aspiring authors bring meaningful books into the world while honoring their creative independence and financial interests.

Founded through the firsthand publishing experience of Shakti Bottazzi, Soul Wisdom Press emerged from recognizing an unmet need: talented individuals with valuable stories, wisdom, and knowledge to share often struggle to overcome the internal obstacles of writing a book, only to face an equally challenging publishing landscape.

Soul Wisdom Press was created to bridge that gap.

We believe that authors deserve more than a pathway to publication. They deserve guidance, transparency, and opportunities to benefit from their creative work. We believe that publishing should be an empowering experience, not an obstacle to overcome.

From finding the confidence to write and share their message to navigating editing, production, distribution, and the financial realities of publishing, the journey can feel overwhelming.

Stories Worth Sharing

Voices Worth Hearing

Our mission is to support emerging voices in spirituality, personal development, self-help, memoir, and meaningful nonfiction, helping authors move from inspiration to publication with greater clarity, confidence, and independence.

Our approach is grounded in three principles:

• Empowerment: Supporting authors in overcoming what holds them back while honoring their authentic voices and creative ownership.

• Partnership: Building transparent, collaborative relationships where authors and publishing professionals can thrive together.

• Opportunity: Making the path to publication more accessible, understandable, and financially sustainable, with the potential for mutually beneficial outcomes.

We believe that publishing should be an empowering experience, not an obstacle to overcome.
