About Robin Sauerwein
Robin Sauerwein grew up, mostly, in Saint Paul, MN. Her father and grandfather were both printing press operators, her grandfather starting up his own newspaper in Glenwood City, Wisconsin. Her father always made sure she had books to read. She started writing as soon as she learned the alphabet. Robin always believed that writing was critical, and has kept journals about her life since she was nine years old. Her journals have been her constant companions. She wrote her first story for her English teacher, Ms. Kelly, and it won a prize for best story in the form of a glass paperweight with a globe inside. Robin still has it, and it is a constant reminder of her teacher's acknowledgment of her writing, and of her own recognition that she wanted to write!

Robin was a part of the Loft Literary Center and the Minnesota Women's Press in their very early days. She is the founder of the Audubon Eight Writer's Group. Robin has led intergeneration readings at coffee shops, where both children and adults have come together for an evening of sharing stories and connecting. She has gone on to teach others on developing a writer's habit, believing that everyone should be encouraged to express themselves without fear of not being good enough, or not writing the "right way." Her workshops help students find their own talents and express themselves without fear of criticism so that their writer self can emerge. She believes writing builds community and works to bring her writing habit workshops to anyone who has a desire to write. She encourages everyone all ages, Believing that they do have something to say, and it is worth writing, and worth sharing, and some people want to hear it. She believes that writing gives voice to those who feel powerless, and can help those who pick up the pen.

Robin has gone into middle schools to talk to teens and share her sexual abuse story with teenage girls. She produced a pamphlet to help teen girls identify sexual abuse from the people they know. That is when Robin learned what she already feared; sexual abuse is a closet problem, accepted by teenage girls, because no one told them it was wrong, and those who did know it was wrong, never did anything to stop it.

Robin Sauerwein also was a small group facilitator for two years for the "Leading from Where You Are" program held at the University of Minnesota for CS/BU women. 2007-2008, a committee member CS/BU Women's Steering Committee for four years and on the Awards committee for CS/BU Women's award. 2001-2004.
