Robin Farmer, author of Angel Dressed in Black
An award-winning journalist, Robin’s work has appeared in Publishers Weekly, The Washington Post, and the Richmond Times-Dispatch, where she specialized in narrative nonfiction projects and was part of the Special Projects/Investigative team. Her national awards include a Knight-Wallace Fellowship at the University of Michigan and a first-place award for education reporting from the Education Writers Association. Robin’s fiction projects, which include screenplays, short stories and poems, focus on girls discovering their voices to advocate for social justice. Robin is a recipient of residencies at the Virginia Center for the Creative Arts and the Djerassi Resident Artists Program, and is completing a debut novel for young adult readers. She is gobsmacked that she has lived in a suburb of Richmond longer than in her hometown of Philadelphia.
