"kiss the rock"?
I'm a U.S.-based freelance writer who specializes in travel, outdoor adventure, and the environment. My clients include American and international publications:
     ºOuter Edge
     ºLake Superior Magazine        
     ºMN Conservation Volunteer
     ºStudent Traveler
     ºand many more

A painstaking wordsmith, I can craft profiles, service articles, in-depth features, or any other kind of writing you require. I excel at distilling complex and technical information into clear, engaging, and accurate prose.

I used to work as a rock climbing instructor. People trusted me with their lives - you can trust me to fulfill your writing needs.

What can I write for you? 
What my clients say
"Shelby is a versatile and highly dependable author who speaks the language of adventure fluently and writes it even better."
