Bob Yehling was a poet, author, editor, ghostwriter, marketing expert . . . and a dear friend to many.

For those who haven’t already heard, it is with heavy hearts that we announce the recent passing of one of our authors, Robert Yehling.

He wrote, cowrote, and ghostwrote over a dozen books and edited several hundred others, and he encouraged countless more to share their stories. His career as an award-winning author, poet, journalist, editor, ghostwriter, educator, and marketing and public relations expert spanned 45 years. One top of his books we’ve published, several of our authors worked with Bob in one capacity or another to get their books written, edited, published, and promoted.

In addition to his prolific writing career, Bob was a life-long distance runner who completed the Boston Marathon three times and several ultra-marathons.

We were saddened that we couldn’t meet in person one last time at the St. Louis Publishers Association / The Missouri Writers Guild conference he was scheduled to speak at in September, before his health began to fail.

We also wanted to share this announcement from Write Away Books, of which Bob was a cofounder:

“Mr. Yehling's endless passion for writing and his contribution to independent publishing will be sorely missed. To honor his legacy, Write Away Books will be establishing the Robert Yehling Young Authors Scholarship, which will be dedicated to encouraging young authors to develop and expand their writing and publishing skills.

“Contributions can be made at this time to https://tinyurl.com/authorscholarship, and please follow Write Away Books for additional details as this program is formalized.”

If Bob touched your work or your life in any way, we hope you’ll consider donating to his scholarship fund. We’d also love to hear about your experiences if you want to post a comment or send a message. Condolences may be posted to his page.
