Robin Rauzi is a freelance editor specializing in op-eds, commentary and other forms of creative nonfiction. She was a full-time writer and editor at the Los Angeles Times for 13 years, during which time she worked on the entertainment, travel and opinion desks. Her last position was articles editor for the opinion pages, which meant collaborating with activists, academics, politicians and other subject matter experts to craft lively and convincing essays.
She started Get Rauzi Editorial Services in 2009 and continued to edit intermittently for the Times for the next decade. She is currently a part-time commentary editor at the non-profit research institution, the RAND Corporation.
She’s edited scores of corporate white papers and reports, edited books on the farm bill and climate change, worked on multiple creative projects for the LA Phil, and built a few web sites. In mid-2017 she launched a writing program called 40 Days + 40 Writes.
Robin's approach to editing is deeply shaped by journalism, where it’s the job of an editor to collaborate with a writer to produce the best work in service of the reader. Years on a daily newspaper also mean she gets up to speed on new topics in a hurry and turns things around on a tight deadline.
Robin has a BFA in screenwriting from USC and a master’s degree in journalism from Ohio University. She currently lives in Spokane, Washington. Which is not near Seattle.
