Kimberly Stuart

Kimberly Stuart grew up in Iowa, where she learned to be snobbish about corn on the cob and good storytelling. She earned degrees at St. Olaf College and the University of Iowa, both fine institutions that did very little to prepare her for the lethal cocktail of parenting and writing.

Stuart is the author of eight novels, including Sugar, Heart Land, and the Heidi Elliott series. Her books have been featured in Cosmopolitan, Huff Post, and the Chicago Sun-Times, and have been carried by Target, Wal-Mart, Barnes & Noble, and booksellers nationwide. She and New York Times-bestselling author Bob Goff have coached hundreds of aspiring authors to finish their good and important work. It is an honor to help get their words out into the world through their work in executive coaching, online courses, and events at The Oaks Retreat Center.

Kim’s podcast, For Real with Kimberly Stuart, launched in fall 2021.

Stuart has made her home in Minneapolis, Houston, Chicago, Costa Rica, Nebraska, and Iowa, where she now lives with her brave husband and three wily children.
