Meet Tammy —

The Heart and Soul of Words Matter Publishing

At the core of Words Matter Publishing is a woman whose passion for storytelling runs as deep as the ink on a well-worn page. Tammy is more than just the founder — she is the heartbeat, the visionary, and the relentless advocate behind everything WMP stands for. A multi-award-winning, bestselling author herself, Tammy doesn’t just understand the publishing journey — she’s lived it.

She knows the thrill of finishing a manuscript, the vulnerability of releasing it to the world, and the frustration of being unheard in an industry that too often overlooks the voices that matter most. That intimate understanding of an author’s heart and struggle is what makes Tammy different — and it’s what makes Words Matter Publishing a sanctuary for storytellers.

Tammy’s journey as an author fuels her mission to create opportunities for others. She is constantly pioneering new platforms, unique avenues, and strategic partnerships that give WMP authors the kind of exposure most only dream of. From launching WMP TV and WMP Productions to developing national ad campaigns, bookstore placements, and magazine features, Tammy works tirelessly to open doors — and then hold them open for others.

Her vision isn’t just to publish books. It’s to build careers, brands, and legacies. Under her leadership, Words Matter Publishing has become a launchpad for authors ready to rise, and a home for those whose stories deserve to be heard.

Tammy’s heart beats in every book we publish. Her grit drives every innovation we pursue. And her unwavering belief in the power of words continues to inspire everything we do

Because at Words Matter Publishing, we don’t just follow the rules of the industry — we rewrite them.
