About Serenity Gerbman

As Director of Literature and Language programs for a statewide non-profit, I oversee event management, budgets, program development, fundraising, volunteer recruiting, marketing, and social media for multiple programs. My work includes directing the Southern Festival of Books: A Celebration of the Written Word, overseeing the literary website chapter16.org, managing the Tennessee Book Awards, and other public programs. In my work, I encourage a strongly collaborative and respectful environment, in which the highest quality standards are the norm.
