"Sylvia Melena pays attention...I told her about what I felt was holding me back, and she replied with one simple sentence. That sentence was a miraculous course correction in my professional life, and not only that, she still coached me on the issue that made me seek her for coaching in the first place...She is a powerful mentor and I count myself blessed to have worked with her."

You Don't Have to Go It Alone

Writing a quality book that sells can feel like a daunting project for first-time authors. 

You don’t need to feel alone, wading through the mountains of information and mixed advice from the online world. 

And you don’t need to stay stuck, feeling overwhelmed by all the things you have to learn and do.

I can help you accelerate past your learning curve.

Hi, I’m Sylvia Melena.

I’m the Founder and CEO of Melena Consulting Group, a leadership and management training, consulting, and book coaching company.

I’m also the former Vice President of the San Diego Book Awards Association and the international award-winning and best-selling leadership author of Supportive Accountability: How to Inspire People and Improve Performance. 

In its first year alone, the book sold thousands of copies in five continents—North America, Europe, Asia, Australia, and South America—and was recognized by reputable book award programs at the local, national, and international levels. The book has also been used to train leaders in university and workplace settings.

But it wasn’t always this way.

You see, Supportive Accountability was my first book. And like many first-time authors before me, when I decided to write it, I didn’t know where to start.

So, I invested time and money to figure things out.

Now I’m on a mission to help other first-time authors write and publish quality books they can be proud of and to do it as quickly and efficiently as possible.
