Robin McCarthy was born and raised in rural Maine, where she grew up on a dead-end road between two mill towns.
She has traveled the North Atlantic as a ship's cook, lived aboard a small sailboat through New England winters, and always loves a road trip. She has an MFA in fiction from Northern Michigan University, where she was a managing editor of the journal Passages North.
Robin has taught composition and creative writing, and worked as a writing coach and manuscript consultant. She earns her living as a fundraiser for Maine's only statewide food bank.
Her work has been published by Alaska Quarterly Review, Gulf Coast, The Rumpus, and National Public Radio, among others. She lives in Bucksport, Maine with her husband and their poodle mix, Lulu.
