Betsy Robinson
"Betsy Robinson worked in the theater as an actor/playwright for ten years. Her last production was a one-woman one-act called Darleen Dances at the Ensemble Studio Theatre. The opening monologue became one of the most-performed audition pieces for actresses after it was published in Moving Parts (Viking Penguin, 1992), and the entire play is published in Girl Stories & Game Plays. It is a play about finding God within. In her own quest for this, she attended a four-year healing school, worked at Parabola Magazine and Books, has become a specialist editing spiritual psychology texts, and served as an editor and promotional consultant for the Ringing Rocks Foundation’s Profiles of Healing book series about traditional healers and medicine people. Betsy has been a columnist for UPI’s Religion and Spirituality Forum, and her first novel, Plan Z by Leslie Kove, was published by Mid-List Press as winner of their 2001 First Novel Series Award. She received a 1987/88 Writers Guild East fellowship to write a movie called The Love Convention, and appeared in the movies, Return of the Secaucus Seven and Lianna. Although she spends most of her time writing and editing nonfiction for S&H, she continues to believe that the most powerful way to grow and change has no words ... or is through the words of fiction ... or not. She just finished writing a new novel that takes place in the wonderful world of energy healing. Her website is www.betsyrobinson-writer.com."[1]
