Hi again, I’m Robbie. I live in Chicago with my dog, where I play violin, write, and read other people’s writing. She mostly sleeps and watches out the window for Threats.
Some things that I’m into recently: Borges, the death drive, Ottorino Respighi, body horror, Xavier Dolan. My first love was Mahler and my last love will be Nabokov.
As a violinist: I’m the Assistant Principal Second Violin of the Elgin Symphony Orchestra, and I’m a section violinist in the West Michigan Symphony. I have a Masters of Music and an Artist Diploma from CU Boulder, and I used to play with the Civic Orchestra of Chicago. I’m also a proud member of AFM local 10-208.
As a writer: I’ve been described by my friend, Duncan, as "some of the best off-beat and experimental fiction from any new or emerging writer I have seen in quite some time.” Thanks, Duncan! Mostly I write short fiction, but I also dabble in essays and poetry. Currently, I’m at work on a novel. You, too, can be on the cutting edge of my creative output by following my substack.
As an admissions consultant: I work with students applying to undergrad, graduate, and medical school. In particular, I specialize as a tutor for personal narrative essay writing.
If you would like to hire me for any of these things, or if you would like to solicit writing from me, you can reach me at [email protected]
