Workshops

Let’s tell stories!

Everyone has a story to tell. We just need the right tools to tell it. As an award-winning novelist, a former animation story development executive, a comic book-writing, cookie-baking, book-loving educator, my workshops will give you the straight skinny on storytelling: what to do, how to do it, and how to make it even better. Whether it’s the nuts and bolts of writing, navigating issues of empathy and diversity, or deeper explorations on craft, I approach it all with a heavy dose of encouragement and humor. Whatever your focus and whoever your audience, let’s excite and inspire them to do great work!

Client Testimonial

“Sherri spoke to our group of 70 or so about finding the structure for her latest novel, The Blossom and the Firefly. It was a master class in the craft of fiction: a detailed explanation of the structure she had wanted to use (along with diagrams), examples of how other stories have used it, and a narrative about her own attempt to write within it and the changes she made according to the needs of her manuscript. Her lecture was funny, personable, and incredibly useful to writers of all experience levels. Several people came up to me afterwards to say that the structure Sherri described might be just the thing to get their manuscripts unstuck. I can't recommend Sherri as a speaker highly enough.”
