Sherry Ramsey

Brief Biography

Sherry D. Ramsey writes speculative fiction for both adults and young adults, has been the Editor/Publisher of The Scriptorium Webzine for Writers for over ten years, and is one of the founding editors of Third Person Press. Her short stories, articles, and poetry have appeared in print, online, and over the airwaves. From 2004 to its final issue in February 2010, Sherry acted as a copyeditor for the Internet Review of Science Fiction.

When she's not actually writing, Sherry moderates her local writers' group, participates in a vibrant writing community in the virtual world of Second Life, works on Third Person Press projects, and creates digital and colored pencil art. Sometimes she even spends time with her husband, two children, and two dogs at their home in Cape Breton. Every November she disappears into the strange realm of National Novel Writing Month and emerges gasping at the end, clutching something resembling a novel. She also acts as a mentor for others attempting this feat, and has enjoyed helping high school and junior high students work through the process for the past number of years.

A member of the Writers' Federation of Nova Scotia Writer's Council, this year Sherry is serving a second term as Secretary-Treasurer of SF Canada, Canada's national association for Speculative Fiction Professionals, and has also become SFC's website administrator. You can visit Sherry online, read her sporadically-updated writing blog, and find some free fiction on her website.
