Tara Goodyear

Tara Goodyear has spent a lifetime chasing stories. From writing her first poem at age nine to becoming a published poet, playwright, blogger, photographer, and 14-time NaNoWriMo champion, words have always been at the center of her world.

After studying English Literature, Latin, and Theater at the College of Charleston, she returned to school in 2024 and graduated Magna Cum Laude from Pennsylvania State University with a degree in Organizational and Professional Communications.

An award-winning writer and member of multiple academic honor societies, Tara continues to explore themes of love, loss, resilience, and human connection through poetry and fiction.
