Elizabeth Schulte
Elizabeth Schulte grew up in a small town in Indiana. As a child, she often played hooky to stay home and write stories. She managed to attend enough school to get her into college at Webster University in St. Louis, where she continued to squander her education, majoring in creative writing and bumming around dark clubs and basements, playing groupie to a prog rock band. During that time, she discovered her love for Lorrie Moore, Michael Chabon, Amy Hempel, Nicholson Baker, and all the bands that kind of sounded like Tool.
Elizabeth never gave up her propensity for writing nonsense while she was supposed to be doing honest work. She wrote the draft of her first novel at her job as an office assistant for CSU Summer Arts. After earning an MFA from CSU Fresno, she now lives with her husband and little boy in Indianapolis, Indiana. She teaches composition at IUPUI and is working on a second novel. You can read some of her stories in magazines like Hot Metal Bridge, The New England Review, Witness, and Ninth Letter.
