She helped produce Handwriting Analyzer software that is used in law enforcement, governments, and business.

​

In 2021, Sheila took back her publishing rights and established the Write Choice Ink imprint to publish her own works. Since 1989, her business name has been Sheila Lowe & Associates, the Write Choice! so the name was a no-brainer.
