Who am I
I am an aspiring writer and avid reader with a Master’s Degree in Literature from American University, where I wrote my Master’s Thesis on Young Adult Fantasy Literature and Media. The thesis covers everything from classic stories to contemporary fiction, focusing on Harry Potter and Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I am an active member of the both the Whedon Studies Association and the Children’s Literature Association. I have given several presentations at international conferences for literary organizations, and I sit on the editorial board for the undergraduate journal Watcher Junior.
I chronicle my confusing journey to establish a career (writing, teaching and at a non-profit organization) and "find my identity" in my personal blog: http://laurenaliseschultz.blogspot.com/
I also write reviews of novels and other people's blogs/websites on my book blog: http://wonderlauren-reads.blogspot.com
Books I've written, anthologies I've contributed to and any scripts or plays I've authored
I have published a book chapter entitled "Concepts of Identity When Nancy Drew Meets Buffy" in the anthology "Buffy Meets the Academy." I have another chapter that has been accepted for publication in 2012, also dealing with the work of television auteur Joss Whedon.
