Sheri Ann Bell-Rehwoldt’s Summary
Raised a military brat, I love travel, the arts, great food, and meeting people. Brand new to Salt Lake City (thanks to my husband enrolling in the University of Utah's PhD Biomedical Informatics program), I am having a great time establishing a broad network of cool people high on Utah.
***** With the hubby in school, I am seeking a FT job in PR, marketing, publishing, or fundraising. Skills I bring to the table: experience in social media, corporate communications, media relations, event planning, training, and trade show coordination. *****
I've been a freelance writer and editor for nine years. I am the author/co-author of 10 books, eight for the juvenile market. For business clients, I write/edit articles and web content, ghost/copyedit book drafts, and critique story drafts. To discuss projects, please email me at Sheri@Bell-Rehwoldt.com.
I'm also into social media. Experienced with numerous social media tools (Twitter, Twitter-based softwares, Facebook, online bookmarks, blogs, etc.), I now teach clients to use these tools to build an online presence. To discuss training, please email me at Sheri@Bell-Rehwoldt.com.

Social Media Trainer
(Self-employed)
(Internet industry)
August 2009 — Present (4 months)
You've written a book, and now you want visibility on the web. Your basic goal is to sell lots of books, but somewhere you heard that having a web presence is a sure way to get on Oprah. (Probably not, but why kill that dream from the get-go? It could happen!)
The web is an amazing promotional tool. It allows you to quickly build a fan base, and to market faster, smarter, and CHEAPER than if you used traditional media. But, like all marketing efforts, it takes a lot of time. An avid user of online "social media" tools (blogs, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Flickr, podcasts, and bookmarks), I believe that time is a wise investment.
The downside, of course, is that there's a significant learning curve in setting up and using these online tools. I'm happy to help you get started.
Some of the services I can do for you:
• Create a blog for you on Blogger and provide training on blogging, adding links, photos, and video.
• Set up profiles on author marketing sites that you've identified.
• Create your page on Facebook and/or provide training on using Facebook.
• Create your Twitter account and/or provide training on using Twitter and various Twitter-based softwares that allow you to upload photos, videos, search, track stats, etc. I can also help you to quickly find "quality" followers, or teach you how to search Twitter for info on topics and/or people that interest you.
• Tweet for you.
• Set up your account on numerous bookmarking sites, including Digg and Stumbleupon, and provide training on using them.
• Set up your account on video networking sites such as YouTube and Flickr, and provide training on using them.
Send me an email to discuss. Here's to selling many books! ;-)

2008 Conference Co-Chair

"Founded in 1948, the American Society of Journalists and Authors is the nation's leading organization of independent nonfiction writers. Our membership consists of more than 1,100 outstanding freelance writers of magazine articles, trade books, and many other forms of nonfiction writing, each of whom has met ASJA's exacting standards of professional achievement." (ASJA website)
• My wonderful co-chair Salley Shannon (a fabulous writer) and I planned the overall look and feel of the 2008 conference, held April 11-13, in NYC.
It was a challenge, given the diversity and strong opinions of the ASJA members. But I enjoyed further honing my flexibility, creativity, and interpersonal skills, and watching our all-volunteer conference committee gel into a cohesive group. Without them, the conference would not have offered up its first-rate educational sessions, writer/editor one-on-ones, and numerous networking opportunities.
