Carol Bodensteiner
Biography
Carol Bodensteiner was born (1948) in Maquoketa, Iowa, and raised on her family’s dairy farm in eastern Iowa, between Maquoketa and Preston.
After graduating from the University of Northern Iowa with a degree in speech and English education, Carol joined the American Soybean Association where she spent three years as editor of Soybean Digest magazine.
Subsequently, Carol spent 23 years as public relations advisor to clients at two agencies. For 10 years, she was the president of CMF&Z Public Relations, one of the Midwest’s largest business-to-business public relations firm, working with clients on everything from product introductions to community relations, legislative issues and crisis management.
Since 1999, she has worked as an independent consultant and freelance writer, taught writing as an adjunct professor at Drake University (where she earned her MA in mass communication), and written for her own projects.
Her first book, Growing Up Country: Memories of an Iowa Farm Girl, a memoir about her childhood on the farm was published in 2008. In her memoir, Carol preserves in words for generations to follow this natural, deeply textured way of life that has been nearly lost in our country.
In 2010, she joined 170 other writers in a collaborative project on the state of social media. The Age of Conversation 3 explores the shift of social media from the hypothetical to a staple in the modern marketing toolbox.
She lives with her husband on an acreage near Des Moines.
