About Liz Rhodebeck

  I am a freelance feature writer for Lake Country Publications in Hartland, Wisconsin, with articles appearing in 30 West, Living on the Lake, and Metro Parent West, as well as writing the weekly Pewaukee News column in the Lake Country Reporter newspaper.  Prior to that, I worked as a feature writer for CNI Newspapers in suburban Milwaukee. 

 For the past ten years, I have been a facilitator at the annual Creative Writing Festival for high school students at the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater, which attracts 600-800 students every year from all over Wisconsin and the Chicago area.  I have also taught creative writing workshops for elementary and middle school students, and been a guest speaker at area schools.  

 An accomplished poet, I have published poems in state and national journals, and am active in poetry programs in the community.  (See the “Poetry” page for more details.) 

I am also involved in community arts organization and serve as director of my church's communication ministry.
