Alicia Schulze-Makuch

Surviving reality, one story at a time.

About

Alicia Schulze-Makuch is an American author and artist that survives reality, one story at a time. She's originally from El Paso, Texas, but spent most of her childhood in Pullman, Washington running around barefoot, climbing trees, and creating magical worlds with her younger brother. 

Alicia currently lives in Denmark, where she's pursuing her love of stories as a fourth-year BFA student at South Gate Creative Writing School. 

​​

Her writing ranges from quirky fantastical middle-grade to new adult fantasy, dark fairy tales, and paranormal crime.

In the early days of constantly having paint-splattered hands, Alicia focused on realistic pencil drawings and painting in oil, watercolor, and acrylic. It was only recently that she discovered a new medium...

Crayons! 

Though she still loves getting back to painting and pencil drawing, these days, you can find her scribbling away with a box of crayons and a huge grin on her face.

​

When Alicia's not physically creating art, she's a graphic designer at South Gate School.

Dog Days

​

Dog Days is a collection of Indy, a pup, who's as adventurous as they come by. 

Some days, he's a professor, other days, he's a cowboy.

It may depend on how many cookies he'll get out of it.

​

What I'm Up To 

Alicia is constantly consuming stories, music, and movies while actually consuming chocolate chip cookies.​

​

Though her life is overrun mainly by her characters, when she can, she posts a review or whatever it is she's up to right here.
