WHO AM I?

 

 
Author Cher Gatto

Author Cher Gatto

Writing Adult and YA Fiction with stories of grit and inspiration. I grew up in NJ and never knew a passion for writing was buried within me. When my husband and I, along with our 5 kids, moved to Mexico and developed an off-grid ranch for kids in the middle of the desert, I found myself in a back room trying to make sense of the brokenness around me. It was there I picked up a pen to tell the story swirling around me, and I haven’t stopped writing since!

 

MY WRITING

When we’re faced with our own depravity, the only place to run is home. There’s redemption in every story because there’s no place too broken, too ugly, too dark where the Author of Redemption cannot reach. Those are the kinds of stories I've experienced, and the kinds of stories I love to write about.

 

ACFW ZONE DIRECTOR

When I moved back to NJ in 2016, I found a lack of support for the local community of writers. In response to that, I launched the NY/NJ chapter for ACFW (American Christian Fiction Writers). The local chapter offers monthly meetings hosted by professionals and laymen in the field of writing and publishing. I serve as Zone Director for the Northeast, and strive to develop more support groups in this area!
