Kerry Cohen
Kerry Cohen (born September 15, 1970 in Cleveland, Ohio) is an American author. She also writes as Kerry Cohen Hoffmann
Cohen grew up in suburban New Jersey.[1] She received an MFA in creative writing from the University of Oregon and an MA in counseling psychology from Pacific University. A counselor (LPC Intern) and writing instructor, she lives with her children and boyfriend in Portland, Oregon.[1][2] She is the author of Loose Girl: A Memoir of Promiscuity, based on her own promiscuity during her teens. In 2006 she published Easy, a young adult novel.[3]
She teaches creative writing for Gotham Writers Workshop in New York City and the Red Earth low-residency MFA program.
Although much of Cohen's writing has focused on her self-described promiscuity and sex addition, a Jezebel article disputes her lifestyle choices are actually due to a sex addiction.[4]
