Over the past decades of facilitating writing workshops, as a teacher, and then co-director of the Writing Project at the University of New Orleans, I used myriad writing prompts and activities. However, precious few were as profound and rich as the activities I have been using and the responses that they have evoked this past year, thanks to Sherry Reiter’s guidance and input.

Sherry has the innate ability to connect people in beautiful, creative ways. She gives everything she has – knowledge, resources and hands-on exercises. All done with compassion, humor, and sometimes a dose of tough love with a gentle hand.
