Bob Martin JD, MSW, CMT– Author, Publishing Trailblazer & Literary Maverick

Bob Martin’s story is as riveting as the narratives he crafts. Once a criminal trial lawyer deeply entrenched in Miami’s notorious legal battles, Bob began his writing career drafting legal briefs and essays. In the wake of 9/11, disillusioned by the violence carried out in the name of religion, he conceived the idea of divine messages guiding humanity—a concept that evolved into his first book, Children of Abraham. Navigating an unfamiliar publishing landscape, Bob encountered every consultant and pitch imaginable. After a year of fruitless efforts to secure an agent or publisher, he boldly chose the self-publishing route—printing and selling thousands of copies directly from his garage. His hands-on experience with grassroots publicity laid the groundwork for his next literary endeavor. With I Am The Way, Bob’s work captured the attention of Innovative Ink, a traditional publisher now poised to re-release Children of Abraham in April. Bob’s dual life as a lawyer and an author uniquely positions him to speak on both the creative process and the realities of modern publishing. His journey—from legal briefs to literary acclaim—offers invaluable insights into the challenges and triumphs of bringing meaningful work to market.
