Tamara L Dever

Tamara/Tami/Tam is the founder and creative director of TLC Book Design, a leading custom book creation firm with over 25 years of experience and hundreds of awards. She grew up on books, music, and art. She began reading at a very early age and kept the Arrow Book Club in business for years. (Remember that?)

In addition to her passion for designing books and coaching authors, Tami loves ’70s and ’80s music and pop culture. She’ll insert a fitting lyric into any conversation and has a strange knack for rewriting song lyrics that’ll bring both laughter and rolling eyes. You'll find her fun retro merchandise at TotallyCool80s.com.

When she’s not designing or writing books, you’ll find her hanging around the pool with her friends and family, listening to music, cooking allergen-friendly food, or watching music reality television shows. She loves Jesus and would love for you to do the same. Tami lives in Austin, Texas with her husband, two kids, two rescue dogs, and works from her rad, retro-themed office.
