Tammy Robinson Smith

After two decades of working in the communications field, Tammy Robinson Smith founded a boutique publishing company specializing in Appalachian women's fiction. As a publisher, she launched the careers of several regional authors. Tammy published three short story collections filled with writers of Appalachian fiction and added two imprints to the company to open up publishing opportunities for authors who were seeking small, regional presses.

In 2012, Tammy sold her press and began working as a contract writer and marketing and public relations coach to entities seeking assistance with publicity. Since then, she has liaised with clients to produce written pieces to communicate with their target audiences via print, digital and television promotions. Clients included authors, non-profit organizations, media outlets, small businesses and individual entrepreneurs.

Early 2019 brought another writing venture into Tammy’s life. She decided to get back to her creative writing. She has released the first of her novels in her “Stories from the heart of Appalachia” line this autumn. Look for The Ivy Creek Sewing Circle on Amazon, now!
