Victoria Sheeley discovered her love of storytelling at thirteen, during a time when she was first navigating her own mental health challenges. Writing quickly became not only a creative outlet but a vital piece of her personal journey. With the release of her most recent book, Emilia’s Awakening, she is committed to raising awareness and fighting the stigma surrounding mental health.

Victoria surrounds herself with creativity, nature, and the unwavering support of her husband Kyle and her family. In addition to writing, she shares readings and engages with her audience on TikTok under the handle StoriesByVictoria.

Victoria has been a participant in Gateway’s PROS (Personalized Recovery Oriented Services) program since 2022, where she continues to thrive as both a writer and a mental health advocate. She continues to write with the goal of inspiring others. We look forward to hearing her work through upcoming readings here at PROS, as well as future readings at Barnes & Noble in Kingston.
