membership: the poetry club

When you join today, you'll get access to our private FB group and ALL poetry club resources, including 30+ workshops on-demand, dozens of worksheets and downloads to help you write, outline, title and publish your book, and hundreds of writing prompts... all through December 31, 2024!

Have you been feeling lost and alone about getting your poetry book out into the world or pursuing a career as a poet? Are you looking to form a consistent writing habit, and write with other poets in community together?

You're in the right place!

The poetry club is the low-cost, high-impact poetry community that will help you grow your writing confidence as a poet, and get your book written, published and sold so you can have the poetry career you dream of.

i'm ready to join!

Growing your passion into an impactful side hobby or career is possible, but it’s not always easy…

If you’re here, you probably have poems to share or a book you want to write, but…

  • you’re unsure if your poems are any good (or if you can even call yourself a poet!) and the imposter syndrome is holding you back from what you can achieve

  • you may be feeling alone and struggling to write regularly and hold yourself accountable to your writing goals
  • you may be spending more time googling how to make money from poetry and how to publish than actually writing poetry

What if I told you there’s a way to achieve the poetry impact you want?

I’m shelby and over the last 7 years, I’ve published poetry books that have landed in the top 30 books on all of amazon, hit #1 in poetry overall, landed multiple book deals, and grew my poetry social media pages to more than 500,000 followers.

It’s not easy work and it’s not fast money. But, it is empowering, worthwhile, and amazing to live your dream of being a writer.

I’ve helped over two hundred poets in the poetry club through my poetry book writing outline, editing, and self-publishing guidance to help them launch a poetry book they’re proud of. Plus, with the poetry club community by your side, you'll meet other poets with a range of experiences who can help you with your questions.

Inside the poetry club, you'll learn from award-winning and bestselling poets, find resources to help you write and publish your poetry book, and get support and accountability from other poets.

Imagine what it would be like to:

  • learn how to write from bestselling poets so you can improve your skills and be more confident in your work

  • finally hold that poetry book in your hands because you’ve had the accountability, support and guidance to help you publish with ease

Scroll down to learn more about what’s included in your membership.

Join the poetry club today to get instant access to over 30 poetry workshops featuring bestselling poets and poetry publishers, AND access to our private community, to help you elevate your poetry and boost your poetry career.

I'M READY TO JOIN!

Meet your host

Hi, I’m shelby! I’ve been a part of the online poetry community for more than 7 years and have amassed an audience of more than 500,000 readers.

I’m a published author of three poetry books, including the bestselling changing with the tides and girl made of glass, and have both self-publishing and traditional publishing experience.

And the one thing I really wish I had when I started out?

A community of other poets to talk to and learn with who would hold me accountable to write and publish my books.

A community that understood me and my goals. a platform to share my poems with other writers and get support from someone whose done it: published poetry books, sold thousands, and made a career from being a poet.

It didn't exist for me then, but it does now! The poetry club is a community of poets around the world who are supporting each other and getting their books written and published.

How it works

  • Joining the club is a one-time payment of $37 USD. 
  • You'll get instant access until December 31, 2024 to all workshop replays, prompts, writing challenges, and self-publishing resources to keep you inspired and empower you to write and publish your book!
  • You also get an invite to our private fb group where other members are sharing poems, exchanging beta reads and book reviews, and supporting each other. You'll have access to the group until December 31, 2024 as well.

All for just one payment of $37!
