About
Shelbi Carpenter is a recent English graduate from the University of Arkansas. After switching her major sophomore year from journalism to English, Shelbi decided to focus on creative writing. Creative writing has always been a passion for Shelbi over any other type of writing. However, her college classes and internships exposed her various genres of writing that interest her as well, and this allows Shelbi to consider herself a diverse writer. She has written several articles about events and e-commerce, alongside nonfiction pieces discussion society. This extensive writing portfolio allows Shelbi to take on different voices from several subjects or clients. While working on these nonfiction pieces, Shelbi has not stopped working on her novel which she hopes to publish one day.
