About 

Hi, I'm Heather E. Schwartz, an entertainer and children’s writer specializing in licensed content and brand partnerships. Through Heather E. Schwartz Studio, I develop children’s nonfiction and educational IP designed for publishers, brands, and youth-focused organizations.

Highlights of my career include solo shows at NYC’s The PIT and The Upright Citizen’s Brigade Theatre; writing my first Little Golden Book; and appearing as an author/expert on E! Entertainment’s True Hollywood Story. 

 

I've led workshops for Girls Inc. of the Greater Capital Region, Hollins University’s Graduate Program in Children's Literature, and the Society for Children’s Book Authors and Illustrators 50th Anniversary Summer Writers Conference. Behind the scenes, I’ve worked as a writer with brands including Disney, Sesame Street, Learning A-Z, Scholastic, Hachette Book Group, Random House Children’s Books, Mayo Clinic Press Kids, Lerner Publishing Group, TIME for Kids, Sports Illustrated Kids, Discovery Kids, The Jim Henson Company, The Arthritis Foundation, and the Smithsonian.

 

Thanks for visiting. I hope we can work together soon!
