Judi Schuler began her professional career as a college teacher at the California Polytechnic State University-San Luis Obispo, where she taught consumer economics. When she left that institution, she taught for 2 years in the Pima Community College system, at the PCC Skill Center.
From teaching, Judi moved to publishing and began her career over 25 years ago as an editor for HPBooks, located in Tucson at that time. She worked there as an editor of general books and as an acquisitions editor. After 5 years at HP, Judi left and began working as a freelance editor and acquisitions editor for Fisher Books, a publishing company started by the previous owners of HPBooks. It was the Fishers who asked her to team up with Dr. Glade Curtis, an OB/GYN who had written several books for HPBooks, to write Your Pregnancy Week by Week. That book was first published in 1989, and it's 6th edition was just released in January, 2008. In addition to the first book, Judi and Glade have added 16 other books to their series.
Judi has one son, Ian, who graduated from Salpointe and now attends law school at the University of San Diego. At this time, she divides her time between homes in Tucson and Laramie, Wyoming.
