Frequently Asked Questions:

Q. How did you get started with your Schwartz writing?

A.In December of 1999 I joined a project with several hundred other freelance writers who were helping prepare a music website. We were supposed to spend 1-2 hours writing brief biographies of musicians based on information we found on the Internet. I was assigned to write about musicians whose last names start with the letter “S.” After spending about 10 hours absorbed in the answers Stephen provided on http://www.stephenschwartz.com I was hooked. I decided to focus my writing efforts around Stephen Schwartz’s work. With his permission I started my website, email newsletter The Schwartz Scene, and my book project.

Q. How can I contact or meet Stephen Schwartz?

A. I keep a schedule of his public events on my website news page. I also sometimes organize events. So be sure to visit MusicalSchwartz.com/news.htm
