Drawing on 17 years serving on her local historical museum board, Beth turned the wild, sometimes chaotic reality of volunteer leadership into a story anyone who's ever served on a committee will recognize.In this episode, Beth shares how nearly two decades of museum board drama became the foundation for her debut novel, what it was like breaking into publishing later in life as a former agricultural journalist, and why she believes volunteerism can both wreck an organization and create something spectacular. She also opens up about her second book, a novel she calls a "Field of Dreams" for women.What We Talked About:Publishing her first book at 67How 17 years on a museum board became a novelWriting humor rooted in real volunteer experiencesTransitioning from agricultural journalism to fictionEncouraging others to pursue their dreams at any ageConnect with Beth Brookhart:Website: bethbrookhart.comFacebook & Instagram: linked on her profile
