Vanishing World Creative Studio is an independent editorial and production company founded by author Ashley Shelby. We offer developmental editing and publishing consultation on select projects for debut and established authors pursuing traditional publication.

We publish the If You Want to Write book series and produce the forthcoming companion podcast, which offers practical, expert guidance for writers navigating the writing process as well as the publishing landscape.

In addition to books and editorial projects, Vanishing World produces a limited line of literary and activist apparel featuring designs that translate the studio’s ideas about culture, climate, and resistance into everyday form.
