Sherrie Voss Matthews’s Summary

I'm an experienced editor and writer who has Web 2.0 savvy and marketing skills. For the past six months, I have served as Web Editor at Drury University, directing our message across multiple platforms.

I've been blogging since 2002. I launched Drury University's Facebook and Twitter sites in 2008; each has had a dedicated following. I can read HTML and CSS code and make fixes when my developers need an editing eye.

I also serve as part of a team of Mom Moderators for the OzarksMomslikeme.com website for the Gannett Corporation's Springfield News-Leader. We're a diverse bunch, but we value opinions and discussion.

As a reporter, I've covered higher education, local government, planning and development, and architecture. My writing and editing credits have been seen in 417, Planning, and Drury magazines, as well as various newspapers and websites.

I have experience developing anthology works for use in middle and high school classrooms. My Literature & Thought series has consistently been among the top sellers for Perfection Learning Corporation.
