Stepping Out of the Shadows- How To Turn Your Writing Dreams Into Reality

Have you ever wanted to quit? Have you ever wondered if you’ll ever be published? Have you ever asked why God put a desire inside you to write if He isn’t even going to give you a byline? If you just answered yes to one or more of these questions you need to be at our September 13th meeting.

Jim’s writing dream came true, but being published was a only small part of it. He’ll tell a bit of his journey and talk about how you can walk yours with joy, purpose, and incredible hope.

Jim Rubart is a husband, dad, author, and marketing professional, in that order. By day he runs his company, Barefoot Marketing, at night he writes novels for B&H Fiction including Rooms released earlier this year. He’s been married for 24 years to his amazing wife, Darci, and lives in Woodinville with her and their two incredible boys. Visit his website at www.jimrubart.com
