Beau Taplin

Beau’s ability to capture the essence of human emotion through poetry has been tugging our heart strings since he began writing in 2011.

His self-published debut book, The Wild Heart, sold out in one evening, and cemented his choice in becoming a full-time writer.

Beau has since published six books, his next book, Worlds of You, is a collection of his more cherished works drawn from his seven-year journey.
