Robin Tuthill, born and raised in St. Petersburg, Florida, has been a writer and editor since 1980. She first wrote for the afternoon newspaper, the Evening Independent, specializing in medical features. Later, she worked in hospital public relations, technical editing, and academic editing and writing. As a freelance writer, she has been published in Ms. Magazine, Law and Order, University of South Florida Magazine, and the St. Petersburg Times.

In the early ‘90s, Robin earned a master’s degree in religious studies and taught comparative religion courses at the Emma Curtis Hopkins Theological Seminary in Clearwater, where she also served as Dean. In 2002, she authored the Instructor’s Manual and Test Questions to accompany World Religions Today, a college textbook written by three religious studies scholars and published by Oxford University Press in New York.

Robin has facilitated “Freeing the Writer Within” workshops and ongoing writing groups since 1995. She created the workshop based on Natalie Goldberg’s “writing practice,” as outlined in her bestselling book, Writing Down the Bones.

Since 1996 Robin has partnered her editing talents with the entrepreneurial spirit and business talents of Robin Hankins. Together they created Intuition for Women magazine and published the popular monthly magazine for seven years.

Robin presently edits and writes for Pearls of Wisdom Councils, Inc. and the Bay Area Women’s Directory. She also assists people in composing their spiritual wills, a written record of values, beliefs, life lessons learned, and hopes for the future.

Robin is a passionate gardener and is learning all about the flora and fauna of Chicago, where she re-located to in September 2005 with her partner and their two toy poodles. “While it wasn’t a time of life where I expected to move to another state and wholly different lifestyle, we’re looking at it as a great adventure and feel excited about exploring new territory,” Robin says.
