I’m a writer and lead bookseller living in Maryland.

My fiction has been published (or is forthcoming) in Rose Book Reader, Black Warrior Review, Rejection Letters, and elsewhere.

I’ve been a bookseller for the past six years, promoted to lead bookseller in 2022.

I am queer and neurodivergent and believe that advocacy must be intersectional. My pronouns are she/her.

Shelby stands in front of a bookcase, her hair pulled back with the front orange-yellow strands framing her face. She wears a black t-shirt and blue jeans, and her hands are clasped below her waist.
