Sherry Stripling wraps real content in warm, easy-to-read writing. Sherry has written for websites ranging from retail travel adventures to financial management to nutrition, fitness and lifestyle. Her profiles of company principals – and of their clients – add credibility while helping organizations define their intentions and values.
Once described by an editor as being a rare combination of "common sense and uncommon sensitivity," Sherry's profiles have appeared in The Washington Post, the Chicago Tribune, InStyle Magazine and The Seattle Times. She was honored twice with the Lowell Thomas Award for travel writing.
She has teamed with Molly Martin to help companies get their message to broader audiences through white papers and newsletters. She has a keen eye for copy editing and proofreading along with a skill that is vital to web content and copy writing: How can we say this just as well, but with fewer words?
