Tatum Rijper is a South African self-published indie author whose work captures the rawness of lived experiences, culture, and universal emotions. With a passion for storytelling that blends urban culture, romance, and personal transformation, she hopes to bring a fresh and authentic voice to the literary world.

Her debut novel, Never or Now, is the first in a compelling series set to release in 2025. Through both fiction and poetry, she explores themes of resilience, identity, and self-discovery, pulled from the struggles that make us who we are. No fluff. Just heart, grit, and stories that stick.

As an indie author, she embraces the beauty of independent publishing, crafting stories that are honest, heartfelt, unfiltered and unapologetically real.

When not writing, she enjoys spending quiet time with her husband and two children, eating good food and watching Korean series.
