Shel Calopa

Melbourne author Shel Calopa will publish her first novel with Inspired Quill (UK) later this year and a novella as part of the Drowned Earth Series by ASF. Set in the sci-fantasy genre, Shel uses futurism as a platform to explore contemporary issues of class, gender roles, discrimination, and power.

As a working parent, Shel understands the challenges of finding time for creativity and is keen to share her learnings with other writing carers. When not working at her day job in philanthropy, Shel can be found wrestling the family husky or gaming with her daughter.
