Wanna Write for Us? Let’s Be Besties!

Are you a romance author, bookish vendor, editor, or cover designer with thoughts to share, stories to tell, or sass to sling? Shelf Love is now accepting guest blog contributors — and we’d love to feature you.

We’re looking for indie-minded creatives who want to drop some knowledge (or a little chaos — we fully support that energy) in our Author Resource Hub or on the Shelf Love blog.

Here’s what we’re into:

• Behind-the-scenes peeks at your writing, editing, or design process

• Tips for surviving and thriving in the indie publishing world

• Marketing advice that actually works (or hilarious failures we can learn from)

• Favorite tropes and trends in romance

• How to launch or grow a bookish brand

• Reader engagement, social media hacks, and spicy takes

• Industry insights from your corner of the romance world

• Or… pitch us something unexpected

What’s in it for you?

• Reach a growing community of romance readers, writers, and industry insiders

• A featured spot on our blog

• Social media promo (we’ll tag, post, and shout your name like it’s a grand romantic gesture)

• Bragging rights: “Published on Shelf Love” totally counts

Ready to pitch your idea?
Email us at [insert email] with your blog topic, a short blurb about you, and a link to your socials or website. Bonus points if your email includes vibes, voice, or glitter.

Let’s build something fun, helpful, and hella swoonworthy — together.

A quick but important note:

Shelf Love is a space built on inclusivity, respect, and romance for everyone. We do not accept content that’s discriminatory, offensive, or promotes exclusion in any form. If your piece puts down a group, punches down, or doesn’t align with our values of love and community — it won’t be published. Full stop.

We’re here to uplift, not alienate. Bring your voice, your insight, your hot takes — just keep it kind. 💕
