About The Writers’ Mill
The Writers’ Mill is an eclectic group of talented, creative, supportive and hard-working writers, editors and illustrators, who meet monthly at the Cedar Mill Community Library in Portland, Oregon. We are very grateful to the library staff for their continued support and promotion of our writing group, and we’re pleased that the library receives all proceeds from online sales of our anthologies.

The Portland Writers’ Mill publishes anthologies of varying themes and genres written and edited by members. Barking Rain Press was a small publisher of “books with bite.” Robin worked remotely for Barking Rain in all levels of trade novel editing. Before that, she was an editor at Ooligan Press, the only student-run trade book publisher in the U.S., after a writing, editing, and publishing class at Portland Community College Cascade campus. She was managing editor of a newsletter, and has edited books, articles, and poems for individual writers.
Writing has been Robin’s passion since childhood, embracing many genres and finding homes in many types of publications. This list of published works is not exhaustive.
