ABOUT

Picture
Hi. I'm Kerri (Anne). I'm a storyteller, mountain dweller, master naturalist, the conservationARTist behind Little Orange Tent Art, co-founder of McCall Made, and the co-founder of the small but mighty (and now officially 11-years-old) outdoor nonprofit, Endless Trails. I lead a quarterly writing group over at Creative Fuel Collective called DIVE. I write a newsletter called Kerrtopia.

I love helping writers unearth their stories, connecting artists to paychecks, exploring remote mountain trails, swimming across cold alpine lakes, organizing low-key, grassroots, we-count-your-laps-with-star-stickers FUNdraising trail races trail with my conservationist/outdoor educated partner and our snuggly muppet pup (Toya!), learning the names of local flora and fauna, using my words, making art every day, puns, pugs, ponderosas, and alliterative adventure.

​Born and raised in the Inland Northwest, Idaho has been one of my heart's homes since before I could walk, and so that's where I live now, nestled in some of my favorite mountains, with plenty of alpine lakes to swim every chance I get. 
​
I've been in love with words, water, and the connective magic of good storytelling for as long as I can remember. 

I've been writing for fun and for profit since elementary school and junior high, respectively. My aunt gifted me my very first journal when I was in the 5th grade, and I wrote my first play in the 6th grade (an adaptation of an R.L. Stine story that was performed in front of my school). In the 8th grade I won my very first writing contest, $200 cash, and a stuffed D.A.R.E. bear. I've been hooked ever since. 

I have a BA in English Literature and extensive experience with technical writing, creative writing, grant-writing, as well as creating unique and engaging copy for an eclectic assortment of websites, companies, authors, and brands.

By day I work for an indie nonfiction publishing company [my job is essentially to get good books into the hands of the right people—something I happen to be quite good at, which is great, because I also love it]. By night I write my own books and help other writers dive for their stories.

When I’m not doing any of that, I’m likely swimming or otherwise very intentionally playing outside, and/or reading as many books as possible, preferably next to (or in) an alpine lake.

Questions? Comments? Collaboration ideas? 
​
I'm all ears. ​​
​Thanks for stopping by my little corner of the internet!
