where can I find your books?

thanks for your interest in my poetry books! a full list of places to buy my books can be found here.

I want to self-publish a book. how can I do that?

I recommend Amazon KDP and/or Ingram Spark. both self-publishing companies have extensive help articles and formatting templates to help you create and publish your book.

will you read my poetry book?

I absolutely love reading poetry and supporting other poets.

if your book is already published and you’d like to send me a free copy via email, I’m happy to accept it, but I make no guarantees to read and leave a review. thank you!

do you teach poetry? will you host a writing workshop?

I do! I have taught over a dozen poetry workshops and even led a poetry community of more than 100 poets for about 3 years.

I teach private lessons and guest host workshops as well. please contact me for details.

how do I market my books / my writing?

marketing is a challenge (and it’s also one of my favorite things!).

that’s why I started marketing by shelby, a company with more than 5000 students just like you - an author or creative looking to make a bigger impact with your work! find free resources, guides/courses, and my marketing membership (the creative’s content club) at marketingbyshelby.com.

can I hire you for a speaking opportunity?

yes! I love speaking about poetry, writing, mental health, social media marketing, and more. please contact me to share details and learn my rates.

do you partner with brands?

I love partnering with brands that match my values and that I believe my audience of >500k+ followers would enjoy, too. please contact me if you’re interested in a partnership!
