Robin Eileen Bernstein

As an essayist and feature writer, my byline appears in The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Boston Globe Magazine, Salon, The New York Daily News, Newsday, Ozy, Weekly Humorist, Narratively, Next Avenue, Next Tribe, The Manifest-Station, Purple Clover, and elsewhere. My nostalgic memoir-in-progress takes readers back to 1970s Rockaway, New York, when I was a teenage girl with an unlikely dream: to be a drummer in a rock-n-roll band. I also spent many years as an award-winning speechwriter, ghostwriter and custom content provider. A born-and-bred New Yorker who’s lived in three of five boroughs, I’m happy to make my home in Manhattan and to be the mom of two delightful young adults.
