In 2012, Shalaine Powell entered the literary world by writing her first book Karma’s Destruction. She self-published Karma’s Destruction via Outskirts Press in early 2015. S.Yvonne was later signed under the Bankroll Squad Umbrella to David Weaver Presents. She dropped her very first series in 2016 and has written over seventy books and counting since then.
S.Yvonne became an independent author in 2019 and has continuously earned Amazon’s orange banner for best-selling urban fiction books. As a result, she graciously accepted her new title as a National Best-Selling Author. That same year she spread her wings even more by relaunching her independent publishing company S.Yvonne Presents.
S.Yvonne Presents currently has a roster of twenty-seven authors. She has definitely made a name for herself and her brand in the urban fiction industry while crossing off personal goals along the way. Though, S.Yvonne is a household name in the urban fiction world, she is still Shalaine a very kind, down-to-earth, humble, and genuine soul.
S.Yvonne goes extremely hard for her brand and even harder for her authors as well. She does not mind extending help and knowledge to others whether it is another author, publisher or someone looking to get their foot wet in the industry.
S.Yvonne also began hosting her Annual Miami Urban Book Expo in 2019. This event brings authors, publishers, vendors, readers, and supporters together under one roof. The events have a remarkable turn-out and they increase each year. She frequently travels on yearly book tours to various states interacting with readers and supporters from all over the world. Smiling bright in pictures or signing books she does it effortlessly as personally thanks everyone who stops by her table even if it is just to speak.
