Phyllis Schwartz
Filed under: Authors
Phyllis Schwartz is a married mother of two, who, after a highly successful career in the television news business, finally has the time to indulge in and focus on her "civilian" writing. She is a poet and writer of children's books, and even as a child, kept a diary and wrote little stories and poems, a creative release that continued well into adulthood when she wrote news by night and poetry by day. Despite battling three different types of cancer over more than three decades, she is still filled with energy, joy, and optimism. Her rhyming books are upbeat and fun in the hopes of encouraging families to deal with tough subjects like illness and bullying—the subject of her latest book, Mom Wombat Says Make War No More! Phyllis is a graduate of San Diego State University with a B.A. in Radio/TV News. Her poetry has been published in the San Diego Union Tribune, the Hole in the Head Review, and several other online publications.
