Short Bio (123 words):
Shelly Mazzanoble is the award-winning author of Welcome to Dragon Talk: Inspiring Conversations About Dungeons & Dragons and the People Who Love to Play It (co-authored by Greg Tito), Confessions of a Part-Time Sorceress: A Girl’s Guide to the Dungeons & Dragons Roleplaying Game, Everything I Need to Know I Learned from Dungeons & Dragons: One Woman’s Quest to Trade Self-Help for Elf Help. When she’s not writing books with really long subtitles, she’s writing about the joys of middle-age womanhood and her child who thankfully hasn’t added the word “litigation” to his vocabulary yet in her weekly Substack, Middle-Aged Lady Mom.

Shelly Mazzanoble is the award-winning author of Welcome to Dragon Talk: Inspiring Conversations About Dungeons & Dragons and the People Who Love to Play It (co-authored by Greg Tito), Confessions of a Part-Time Sorceress: A Girl’s Guide to the Dungeons & Dragons Roleplaying Game, Everything I Need to Know I Learned from Dungeons & Dragons: One Woman’s Quest to Trade Self-Help for Elf Help.
She has exploited her son’s trials and tribulations (and will continue to do so until he fully understands the word “litigation”) in exchange for great exposure on popular Mom-centric, parenting, and women’s humor sites such as Scary Mommy, Blunt Moms, In the Powder Room, Tribe, Pregnant Chicken, Jenny where she writes a monthly column. Her essays have been featured by the TODAY Show and TODAY Parent editors and syndicated on BlogHer.
Shelly has the most fun writing the (mostly) weekly newsletter, Middle-Aged Lady Mom. Subscribe! It’s free!
She was a cast member in Seattle’s Listen to Your Mother show, has published short stories and additional essays in publications like Carve, Whetstone, and The Seattle Times, had plays produced in Manhattan and Seattle (one time with herself as the lead because nepotism, hello) and was once “the lady sawed in half” in a small-town magic show. She’s still not sure how they did it.
She lives in Seattle with her husband, son, cat, dog, and sometimes foster dogs. Visit her on Instagram, Facebook, and her Substack.
