Hi Editors - with the popularity of “The Summer I Turned Pretty”, readers are eager for romance & research shows even younger readers enjoy romance plots. I have a Lower YA & Upper MG Contemporary, both in verse, both coming of age, with 1st love themes on sub. Please reach out.

Happy 1st Book Birthday to “No School, My Rules!”

I'm forever grateful for the support of this book. It’s a Tielmour Press Best Seller + multi award winning title. With school starting up, this book can be a useful tool when talking about refusal, anxiety, bullying, & education.

#When rain plops on a puffball mushroom, its spores rise and float from its center like smoke from a chimney”

“Fungi Are...: More Than Mushrooms” is a wonderful non fiction book from Tielmour Press, written by Alisha Gabriel, that is a lyrical exploration of fungi.

It’s true. Teen love is very much real. I have two coming of age verse novels on sub (Upper MG & Lower YA) that focus on this. Tweens/Teens want more romance in books without being too spicy. Editors- Please reach out with interest.

Did you know that birds like hawks are trained to deter seagull activity at area beaches such as in Ocean City, NJ? I wrote a Lyrical Info Fiction PB about it and it’s on sub! Editors, please reach out!

Hi. I’m Steph and I write Lyrical PBs, Upper MG/Lower YA Verse Novels, and Kids Poetry. My work tends to have SEL & mental health themes, but sometimes it’s all about info & imagination. My debut PB is award winning & my next Lyrical PB releases next year. What do you write?

A spiritually jaded, impoverished & bullied school newspaper reporter, has a chance to write a hit piece on the popular kids. But is all fair in crushes & war? Questions of faith & self. Will she risk her chance at redemption in the name of revenge?

First ❤️in Middle School is real. Just ask Samantha. But what happens when her 1st boyfriend dumps her to be with her best friend? A chain reaction: failed softball tryout, flee to the beach, escape life with help from a cute Jr. Lifeguard and . . . 🐢?
