Hello, and thank you for visiting my webpage.

I am Tammie Tuley. I proudly wear many hats, but I am first and foremost a wife, mom of two grown children and report to a very needy Chihuahua mix by the name of Ms. Tosha. 

Do you have a passion for writing in some form, but have placed that pursuit on the back burner? Then it is time we talked!

Coffee, Laughs, and Chats

Coffee, Laughs & Chats launched in 2025 as a storytelling platform created to celebrate new voices, creativity, talent, and the people behind the scenes. At its heart, Coffee, Laughs & Chats is all about stories told through honest conversation. Stories that make you laugh, think, and sometimes shed a tear or two. 

The idea was simple. I love to talk, write, and meet people. I wanted to create a welcoming space where musicians, artists, writers, hobbyists, creatives, and everyday people could share their stories, be seen and heard. So, grab a cup of your favorite brew, pull up a chair, and join the conversation.

Certified Grant Consultant (CGC)

My experience with writing and storytelling goes way back and is grounded in decades of professional practice. Long before founding Coffee, Laughs & Chats, I built a career in grant writing that evolved into consulting and education. As a Certified Grant Consultant (CGC), I host grant writing workshops and provide individualized training to help nonprofit staff, volunteers and board members turn ideas into funded, sustainable outcomes.

As a grant consultant, I provide grant writing education and training focused on grant readiness, strategic alignment, and the development of clear, compelling, mission‑driven proposals. My work is centered in education, empowerment and helping participants understand the grant process while building confidence and long‑term capacity.

Creative Writing Coach

I love passing along the tips and tricks I’ve picked up over the years. Let’s be honest, starting is the hardest part of any creative journey. I help individuals figure out their direction in creative writing and take those first steps with confidence. Whether it’s blogging, writing a book, publishing, or building a website or social media presence, there are so many ways to bring your ideas to life.

Author

I am a multi-genre author. I have many interests and write about them. My published works include Get Yourself Settled ’Lil Girl, Grant Writing Bootcamp: Back to the Basics, and Before You Were You: A Family Legacy Keepsake.
