I’m Sherri.

I hold a Master of Arts in Religion and Literature from Yale University and a Bachelor of Arts in Natural History Writing from Fairhaven College. I also completed a Certificate in Grant Writing program in 2023 through the People’s Nonprofit Accelerator (formerly WVDO). I am enrolled in a Special Certification Program at UC San Diego in Science Communication (expected 2026) and a medical terminology course through Doane University (expected summer 2025). I also earned a Certificate in Plant-Based Nutrition from the T. Colin Campbell Institute for Nutrition Studies early in 2025.

My poetry and essays have been published in Subnivian Vol. 6, IS Journal, Duality, Gathering of Voices, Letters, and elsewhere. I have also edited nonfiction and poetry issues of print and online literary magazines. I continue to work on essays for submission to creative and academic journals. I have also participated in various writing and editing groups.

I’ve edited and reported for a small-town newspaper, written ad and web copy, edited and indexed book manuscripts, written and edited significant reports, helped authors write book proposals, coached writers whose first language is not English, developed long-term relationships with organizations, and collaborated in writer support groups, both academic and creative.

I’m committed to inclusive language. I have worked with organizations on drafting equity statements and participated on an editorial team responsible for this Inclusive Language Guide and the Quiz for a Cause.

I am a member of the NW Editors Guild, the Willamette Writers, the Association of Science Communicators, and the Northwest Science Writers Association.

I’m always eager to start new projects. Reach out and let me know what you’re up to.
