Betty Jo Schuler writes at her central Florida
home, where she collects teddy bears, glass paperweights, and what
her grown kids call “Betty Jo-isms—sayings you have to
think about twice.
“If you always do what you’ve always done, you’ll always get
what you’ve always got,” is one she likes about writing.
“I suppose that’s why I write in several
genres,” she says. “I
like trying something different.” And she must, since her fifteen published
books run the gamut from romance novels to anti-bullying non-fiction and range
in audience age from early chapter books to adult fiction.
Betty Jo, who has a B.S. and M.A. in elementary education
and taught school for twenty-three years, instructs online “writing for
children” courses
for Writer’s Digest and Barnes and Noble University. And
she’s going to teach the Writer’s Digest course, “You
Can Write a Romance,” for the first time during the 2006 holiday
season. For

And if you’re interested in children’s books, (especially the illustrated
anti-bullying books with Teacher’s Guide and Activity Kits
that she believe every school needs), visit her other website, http://bettyjoschuler.net/bettyjo.html.
