Bettie M. Sellers (March 26, 1926 – May 17, 2013) was an American poet known for her poems about nature, especially about the North Georgia and Southern Appalachia region.

[1] Her future interest in nature and biblical themes in her poetry derived from her being around her Grandma's home and going to Church in Griffin, Georgia.

[4] Along with nature, many of her poems focus on hardship and the different troubles that arose in the Appalachian region and in life in general, including birth and death and marriage and divorce.

In her lifetime, Sellers published four volumes of poetry and one book about Byron Herbert Reece, her teacher and mentor.

[10] In 1987 Sellers received the Governor's Award in the Humanities and shortly after, in 1992, she was recognized as Poet of the Year by the American Pen Women.

Finally, in 2003 Sellers received the Stanley W. Lindberg Award for her significant contributions to Georgia literary culture.
