Sheri Ann Bell-Rehwoldt’s Summary

Raised a military brat, I have lived in many parts of America as well as Germany. I love travel, the arts, great food, and meeting people.

Brand new to the Salt Lake City area, I am interested in establishing a broad network of cool people who are high on Utah.

I'm the author/co-author of 10 books, eight for juvenile market. I'm currently working on two middle-grade novels.

Too, I am experienced in corporate communications, media and blogger relations, event planning, and trade show coordination.

My specialties: interviewing, writing, and building relationships. On my interview wish list: Richard Branson, Prince Charles, and Dame Edna. Yes, I'm crazy for Brits. ;-)

Beyond securing freelance writing and editing projects, I am interested in full-time employment in public relations or marketing in the tourism, hospitality, media, or healthcare arenas.

A 2009 goal: explore the world of documentary making.

(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.
