Schantz also works in the Writing Center. For someone who “grew up in a bookstore” – her parent’s Rue Morgue mystery bookstore in Boulder – you would think writing would come naturally, but good writing is hard work. Schantz is on the seventh draft of her second novel. Her first novel, “FIG,” was a Colorado Book Award winner.
Schantz teaches to give back. “I can show students the way to juggle being a writer in today’s world,” she says. “The reward for me is creativity. I’m constantly engaged in my profession. I’m honing my own craft.”
A graduate of FRCC, Schantz earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts and a Master of Fine Arts in writing and poetics from Naropa University.
