Volumes 7 and 8 editor of environmental literary journal published by Antioch University
“The “Transience, Permanence, and Commitment” issue is really a masterpiece of editing, art, and layout. You and Timothy McDonald [artist] and Ty Minton [cover artist] have created the most beautiful publication my own work may ever appear in. Thanks Sherri et al for your labors.” –Reyes Garcia, writer; professor at Fort Lewis College, Colorado
“Sherri—Having seen the truckload of eggs you had delivered to your office over the course of a year gives me even greater appreciation for the soufflé you’ve pulled out of the oven. Your interview with Abram presents him in a revealing light through strong, direct questions. And the layout….its readability—starting stories on right-hand pages, judicious use of pertinent illustrations, and half-tones that don’t get in the way—makes me want to applaud. Congratulations.” –Paul Hertneky, writer; professor
“I wanted to write and congratulate you on your fine editorial expertise and stewardship of the 1998/99 Whole Terrain. What a fine job you’ve done! You should be tremendously proud of your achievement and including the caliber of writers you have! It’s a pleasure to see work of such passion and high standards.”—Mary Colleen Liburdi, former editor Audubon International Stewardship News
“The journal is beautiful. Such wonderful articles and art work. Thanks for your tender care with my piece as well. It was a pleasure working with you.”—Janet Pivnick, writer; doctoral candidate at University of Calgary
“A superb and utterly professional tenure as editor of Whole Terrain, Sherri oversaw every aspect of the publication. Her judgment, perseverance, sensibility, and sense of excellence were uniformly remarkable. She has a fine future in publication.”—Mitchell Thomashow, former Chair of Environmental Studies at Antioch University, New England; currently President of Unity College, Unity, Maine
“…my reaction? Appreciation for your thoughtful, careful editing that abbreviated excessive words, removed irrelevant and confusing asides, and altogether produced a leaner, more readable piece. Especially impressive to me was your sensitivity to the flow of the piece and your respect for the general style. Where you changed sentences or re-worked a sequence, not only was the outcome an improvement, but its style was indistinguishable from the original. Beautifully done, thank you!”—Everett Gendler, rabbi, writer, educator
