Calling All Indie Authors

Be a Guest on the Show.

Wrote a book you're proud of? We want to hear about it. Shelf Worthy Authors is built around conversations with independently published authors across every genre — mystery, fantasy, romance, science fiction, historical fiction, Christian fiction, cozy mysteries, and everything in between. Pitch yourself below, and Count Quillo will paw through it personally.

What We're Looking For

Indie Authors With a Story to Tell

We're especially excited to talk with authors who:

  • Have a published book (or one on the way)
  • Write mystery, fantasy, romance, sci-fi, historical, Christian, or cozy fiction
  • Love talking about craft and process
  • Are up for a relaxed, genuine conversation

No agent required. No bestseller list required. Just a book you believe in and a story about how it came to be.
