Robyn McNeil

Writer

Robyn has worked across industries, including food, music, film, tech, nfp, and journalism. She brings over 20 years of writing, editing, and reporting experience to Gambling Insider, five of those years focused on gambling news. She’s particularly interested in covering news that affects people—legal and legislative issues, business and culture, and anything related to problem or responsible gambling.

Expertise

Robyn (she/they) has been fascinated by language and storytelling for as long as she can remember. As a kid, she would anxiously wait for the bookmobile’s weekly stop, and she still fantasizes about a home library with a sliding ladder. 

Robyn has covered a variety of topics, including politics/government, business, health, entertainment, technology, and culture. Her work has appeared in print and online, including magazines (Optimyz, Canadian Running, Halifax Magazine, Unraveled), newspapers (The Coast, The Chronicle Herald, The Telegram), and more.

Robyn has a bachelor’s degree in sociology, anthropology, gender, and journalism from Dalhousie University. She also holds diplomas in business and public relations. 

Outside of office hours, you’ll most likely find Robyn reading, crafting, or exploring Nova Scotia’s coastlines, where she lives in an empty nest with her cat.
