I'm Robin Van Auken, a creative editorial consultant. Welcome to my Web site, The Omnibus. My clients are writers, artists and musicians, although I also work with individuals, non-profit organizations, schools, colleges, private companies and municipalities to develop varied public and personal projects.

I specialize in helping my clients present and profit from their artistic endeavors, including development and publication of their own books, family histories, eBooks, multi-media DVD/CDs, videos, Web sites and other personal projects.

History is my forte. From heritage projects and exhibits, to Internet sites, books and oral histories, to anniversary master plans, and more, I assist others as they unlock the hidden value of their past.

Please explore this Web site and if you are interested in my services, please don't hesitate to contact me. I enjoy new challenges, so if you have a project that doesn't fit one of my categories, query me and I'll let you know if I'm able to assist.

Dear Robin,
FINALLY the book writing and publishing process is complete! It's been an incredible journey, and you were a huge part of it. It was so cool to see your endorsement on the cover and I hope it helps sell more copies of Play Ball!

I can't thank you enough for all of your time, insights, and advice. You truly helped me take my writing to a higher level, and I am forever grateful. Check out the book Web site where you're prominently featured on the Home Page.

Best wishes for a Happy Holiday Season and in all your future endeavors.

I'm moving forward. The contracts are signed and Erin said she has them and is sending me materials to get me started. The ball is rolling. Erin has been terrific! Thanks for lining this up!

Eric Smith


I think your comments are right on. I will get started and send the proposal when I finish with the changes. Writing is my dream, so I will work hard. I am so happy to finally get started for real this time.

Tonya Anderson

Thanks for the speedy service, and especially for catching all those little details I'd overlooked. Honestly, I've had all my friends in our writing group read this and they hadn't caught the spelling lapses and names! I'm happy to be associated with (you) and wish you happy holidays.

Best regards,
Larry McDougald

Historical non-fiction is my area of concentration, both as an author and an editor. To date, I have published ten books. Perhaps you require a specialist to chronicle and illustrate your company's story for publication. I provide guidance for new or existing book projects needing supplementary or outside help.
