Growing up in Central Wisconsin, Shelby was always in search of something bigger than herself. By the age of 23, she worked for two different network television stations - CBS and CMT. Shelby got lost in a toxic relationship and took to writing to help discover herself once more. Initially, her passion for writing developed through discovering journal prompts online. A creative at heart, she wanted to design journals for everyone to have simple prompts at their fingertips - that's how Unwritten Journals was born.
