Linda gives a mini master class in creativity, writing, and pitching. She is our Creator of the Month!

Our guest is Linda Sherbert, who has been a writer and active on the Atlanta arts scene for decades. She has been a professor of dramatic writing on the faculty at the Savannah College of Art and Design—the Atlanta campus—specifically, the writing center at historic Ivy Hall. She also taught screenwriting at SCAD’s Digital Media Center. Before that, she taught writing for 14 years at night at the Alliance Theatre. She has taught at KSU and Emory University. She has been a top magazine editor, including working as Features Editor of VERANDA, a national magazine owned by Hearst in New York. She was a theater critic for The Atlanta Journal-Constition, and for WABE-FM (the NPR affiliate), and, recently, for ArtsATL.com. She ran the 14th Street Playhouse years before it became SCADShow. She's a screenwriter, script doctor, playwright, journalist, stage director, educator, and soon she will be co-author of a book for a major publishing house in New York.

 

Currently, I’m writing a play set in Georgia. After that, I’ll return to my most recent three screenplays, which have received some encouraging feedback in L.A.

Linda has given so much to Atlanta, writers, and our creative community.  I want to thank her for everything she has done for me and the entire world of creativity.  

 

BTW:  Listen to her discussion about August Wilson and their friendship.
