At Words Matter Publishing, we believe that words have the power to change lives, shape culture, and leave lasting legacies. Our mission is to champion exceptional storytellers and bring their voices to the world through publishing that is as meaningful as the stories themselves.
We exist to elevate authors, amplify unique perspectives, and deliver books that inspire, challenge, entertain, and endure. With a deep commitment to excellence and integrity, we provide a full-service publishing experience that empowers authors at every step — from first draft to global distribution.
At WMP, your words don’t just fill pages — they ignite hearts, spark minds, and make an impact. Because here, we don’t just publish books. We publish voices that matter.
Fueled by passion for authentic storytelling, WMP launched and published 13 titles in its very first year.
We doubled our publishing output publishing 26 titles, disrupting the traditional model and gaining momentum in the industry.
WMP expanded into broadcast media with WMP TV and WMP Productions, reaching over 18 million viewers within six months.
The launch of WMP Periodicals publishing division marked a bold new chapter for WMP, expanding our offerings to include professionally produced magazines. This move opened the door for authors, brands, and organizations to bring their own periodicals to life—amplifying voices, building communities, and connecting with readers in powerful new ways.
We opened our first three brick-and-mortar locations, The Gold Shelf Book Boutique—an immersive literary destination designed to connect readers and authors directly through curated books, unique gifts, and meaningful experiences.
Due to the overwhelming response, we are continually expanding The Gold Shelf Book Boutique locations—bringing our immersive literary experience to new communities across the country.
From publishing to production, from print to place — Words Matter Publishing continues to grow, innovate, and lead with purpose.
Yet no matter how far we reach, we remain rooted in what started it all: A love for stories, a commitment to authors, and a belief that words still matter.
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 follow the rules of the industry — we rewrite them.
Behind every powerful story we publish is a powerhouse team of professionals dedicated to excellence, creativity, and author success.
