About Tyler Tarter
Hi, I'm Tyler Tarter, a fantasy and science fiction writer based in Springville, Utah. By day, I work in IT and cybersecurity; by night, I'm at the laptop building worlds for readers who love adventure, found family, and a little grit in their magic and starships.
I grew up across the western United States, with stretches of life in Brazil and on the East Coast, and I've always been pulled toward myths, heroes, and the real consequences of impossible choices. A serious health journey from about 2017 to 2021 pushed me to publish and leave stories behind that might help someone else escape for a while. Along the way, I earned a Writers of the Future Honorable Mention for my novella Salvaging Heaven and won the Readers of the Future contest. When I'm not writing, you'll often find me painting a Warhammer army or talking books and tabletop on my YouTube channel, Readers that Wargame.
