Best Seller List: If you were hoping to find a long list of “New York Times Best Seller” list of books, well, continue to visit the page. Tammy is a writer at heart, if not yet on the coveted Best Seller list. Tammy writes with a poetic flair that grips the reader’s interest.
Evolving, Tammy Yosich started writing at age 6 and, at age 9, submitted her first manuscript to a New York Publisher. The publisher responded with, “This is not what we are looking for now, but please keep at it.” For a young girl living in Jackson, Tennessee, it was a big deal to receive mail from the big apple. Tammy is a quirky, wild-at-heart human that has maintained her childlike wonderment. Starting a publishing company at forty-six has been an exciting, frightening journey, one where no one knows where it may lead. But, Tammy is powered by optimism.
Faith tells us to take a leap, believing we will either soar on wings like eagles or a bridge will appear.
You only live once, right?!
Reading offered Tammy an escape when life got rough; her favorite books captured a place where dreams were made and kept. As a young child, she discovered a passion for writing. Despite the desperation of her childhood, from somewhere within, she thought, “I can do this. I can write like my favorite authors.”
Optimism empowers us through chaos. Whether journaling or creating stories, writing established a place where she could express herself, it provided an outlet for her restless mind, and offered her a somewhat tangible place to abscond from the chaos of life for a while.
Having submitted several manuscripts since her youth and finding many publishers hadn’t the time to read nor acknowledge the manuscript, Tammy pulled from her education the inspirational story of Andrew Carnegie.
Understanding the strategy of Carnegie, Tammy learned that perhaps while you wait for opportunities, you can create them and the life you seek. Change is inevitable, and as such, we can, in some ways, control it — if we first accept that it exists. Thus, like Carnegie in manufacturing steel, Tammy decided to own all aspects of the publishing process: a start to finish strategy.
She is a graduate of The University of Memphis with a Master’s in Criminology. For sixteen years Tammy has served passionately as the Compliance Director for Aspell. She continues to reside in Jackson, Tennessee, with her husband Bob and two dogs Sophie and Rufus.
Tammy is an avid dog rescuer and lover of all animals. She feels we are just one part of a beautiful universe where we all have a responsibility for its preservation: other humans, the animals, and the environment.
