Robyn joined the SoA in 2018. Along with the prizes and grants team, she administers 21 prizes for fiction, non-fiction, poetry, and translation. She also oversees the contingency fund grants for authors in need, and the Authors’ Foundation and K Blundell Trust grants for works in progress. Overall, the SoA awards just over £900,000 in awards and grants annually, and Robyn is always looking for funding to expand these lists.

Robyn was named a Rising Star by The Bookseller in 2019.
