Tamara Clymer
Tamara Clymer is a recovering journalist turned author, speaker, and publisher with a flair for storytelling and just the right touch of snark. Born and raised in the Midwest, she earned her journalism degree from Kansas State University and spent years chasing headlines, covering everything from school board debates and barbecue festivals to the Oklahoma City Bombing and presidential campaigns.
In 2010, she founded CrossRiver Media Group, a publishing house that has produced multiple award-winning titles, including Christian Small Publisher Book of the Year winners and SELAH Award recipients. As a mentor to authors and a speaker at Christian writers’ conferences across the country, Tamara is passionate about helping writers hone their craft and reach new audiences with their work.
Married to her high school sweetheart, Shad, for more than 35 years, Tamara enjoys and empty nest life that includes a devoted Pug and a grumpy cat, ironically named Gracie. When she’s not publishing books or enjoying her family, you’ll find her savoring a cup of hot chocolate, camping under the stars, or losing herself in a good book.
