Heidi Heilig

Heidi Heilig grew up in Hawaii where she rode horses and raised peacocks, and then she moved to New York City and grew up even more, as one tends to do. Her favorite thing, outside of writing, is travel, and she has haggled for rugs in Morocco, hiked the trails of the Ko'olau Valley, and huddled in a tent in Africa while lions roared in the dark. Heilig holds an MFA from New York University in Musical Theatre Writing, of all things, and she's written books and lyrics for shows. She lives in Brooklyn with her husband, her son, and their pet snake.
