Shazar co-wrote several songs with Matthew Sweet for his album Inside (1986), and wrote lyrics for Sara Lee for her album Make It Beautiful (2000).

As a painter, her artwork was featured on the cover of The Waterboys' Dream Harder album.

She self-published a book of lyrics and art, Pal Shazar: The Illustrated Lyrics, in 2008.

Shazar was featured on the cover of photographer Linda Troeller's 1998 book The Erotic Lives of Women, which included photos that were also used for the cover art of Shazar's 1997 album Woman Under the Influence.

In 2013, she self-published Pal Shazar's La Strada, a collection of 42 paintings, inspired by the Fellini film La Strada.

In 2015 she self-published You Don't Know Me, a collection of pastel portraits.

As a writer, Shazar self-published her novel, Janitor, in 2011. An excerpt from the book was previously published in 2004 for the Penthouse feature "Women's Erotic Fiction".[2]

Alexandria Quarterly Publications (AQP) published a collection of her short stories, Deliver Love, in 2017, and Volleyball on Tuinal, a collection of poems, in 2021.[3] Shazar wrote a collection of songs based on her novel Janitor, and AQP published a book of the lyrics in 2019, which was packaged with a CD of the songs.
