Born amidst the cornfields of Harvard, Illinois in 1979, Liz Scheid grew up in Twin Lakes, Wisconsin. She moved to Fresno in the early nineties and attended CSU Fresno where she earned her BA in Mass Communications and Journalism and later her MFA in poetry.
Although she’s been planning to move since 1998, she still resides in Fresno with her husband and two ridiculously cute children.
She’s a full time mother, hermit and wife and part time unemployed teacher, writer and trampoline jumper. Though, she plans to return to teaching composition at FCC in the fall. She’s also working on two manuscripts: a collection of essays and a collection of poems. Someday soon, she’ll figure out the titles of these collections.
Her work has appeared in Mississippi Review, Post Road, Third Coast, DIAGRAM and BorderSenses. Her poem, “Reciprocation,” originally published in DIAGRAM was named one of the fifty best short fiction pieces published in 2009 by an online magazine called Wigleaf.
She’s currently not returning calls and avoiding the public.
