Biography

Sheri Radford is a British Columbian through and through. Born in New Westminster and raised in Ladysmith, she also called Victoria home for several years. She graduated from the University of Victoria in 1996 with a Bachelor of Arts in English and Creative Writing. Currently, she lives with her husband and two cats in Vancouver. A freelance writer, she is also the editor of the visitor magazine WHERE Vancouver. Sheri can't remember a time in her life when she wasn't writing: stories, poems, plays, articles, essays.
