Selwa Anthony was born in the Australian country town of Cowra, NSW. Her passion for books was ignited by her father when he gave Selwa her first library card when she was just eight. Having migrated from Lebanon in the 1920s, her father loved writers like Lawson, Paterson and Marcus Clarke, and they helped him love Australia. He also passed this love for Australian literature onto Selwa.

Not only does Selwa have her own very successful author management agency, but she has written three books - The Lebanese Cookbook, co-authored with her two sisters, and two "little positive thinking books", Succeed With Me and Wake Up, Shake Up, Stand Up, with Jimmy Thomson.

Selwa is married with two daughters and a stepson and stepdaughter.
