Anne Rauth grew up in a small town in Northwest Missouri, with a high school graduating class of only 44.
After high school, Anne received her MBA from the University of Kansas and immediately went to work at Hallmark Cards in their Advertising and Hallmark Hall of Fame division.
She also worked at other Fortune 500 companies such as H&R Block managing national promotions and sponsorships but ultimately followed her passion and is currently working in the nonprofit sector.
Anne belongs to the Heart of America Christian Writer’s Network and has led sessions at their annual conference. She has also spoken at the Wordsowers conference in Omaha, Nebraska.
Anne will be teaching the workshop Don’t Monkey around with Mailchimp and Email Marketing. Visit the workshop page for more information.
We asked Anne a few questions to help you get to know her better.
Do you set goals for the new year? If so, does it help you produce more? I led a Vision Board workshop for HACWN and that has really encouraged me around my goals for 2019. 2018 was a challenging year, and even though it is only a turn of a calendar page, I want to stay focused in 2019. / If you’re a more visual person, come see me and we can talk through how to craft your own vision board!
Did a parent or grandparent say something to you that you have remembered for a lifetime? A grandparent said something to my mother but you’ll have to get the book Short and Sweet VI to see what it was!
What is your favorite part of a writing conference? My favorite part of a writing conference is the focus on writing and the relationships I have built. Some writers I may only see twice a year but I still consider them to be true friends. There are writers all around you at a conference. I want to soak it all up to keep me encouraged in the coming months when I can’t see writers face to face.
I love that when Christian writers come together, we’re FOR Jesus and his love! Also blog post about what to do after the conference.
