After "meeting" Stephen Schwartz by way of his website, Carol de Giere began writing the authorized career biography of this award-winning Broadway and film songwriter (who wrote scores for Godspell, Pippin, Wicked, and more).
A former librarian, Carol holds master's degrees in library science and writing. She launched her freelance writing career with this project that involved over 80 hours of interviews with Schwartz as well as with about 100 of his colleagues, friends, and family members.
Carol is married to Terry de Giere, a photographer, chef, and web designer who helped create MusicalSchwartz.com. They moved from Iowa to the New York City metropolitan area in 2002 and currently reside in Connecticut and have businesses in Connecticut and Wisconsin.
