Felicia Schneiderhan is a writer, editor, and teacher. She grew up on the backwaters of the Mississippi River, the daughter of a former Catholic sister caught by an angler. She holds a Bachelor of Science with graduation honors in theater and women’s studies from Northwestern University, and an MFA in fiction writing from Columbia College Chicago.

Felicia’s memoir Newlyweds Afloat details the three years she lived with her husband Mark on a trawler year-round in downtown Chicago. (Yes, even in winter.)

Her magazine articles have appeared in many publications, such as Parents, Real Simple, Lake Superior Magazine, and Lake Country Journal. Her short fiction and essays can be read in literary journals including Hypertext and Brevity.

As an editor and teacher, Felicia is fortunate to have worked with many talented clients and students. She has written multiple books with others and formerly hosted “Drawn to Write” on PBS North, in which she interviewed writers and illustrators about their collaborative projects.

Felicia now lives on Lake Superior’s north shore with her family—her husband Mark, their three teenage tsunamis, and two Holland Lops.
