Schrag is a part-time faculty member at The New School in Manhattan, where she teaches in the writing program. It explores the then-23-year-old Schrag's world in which she "negotiates fame, obsesses about disease, and discusses the way she sees as a dyke comic book artist." The documentary Confession: A Film About Ariel Schrag was released in 2004. Schrag was a writer for the third and fourth seasons of the Showtime series The L Word, and for the second season of the HBO series How To Make It in America. She graduated from Columbia University with a bachelor's degree in English in 2003, and has continued to work as a cartoonist and writer. Schrag graduated from high school in 1998. The comics describe Schrag's experiences with family life, going to concerts, drug-taking, high school crushes, and coming out as bisexual and later as lesbian. Schrag then published three more graphic novels based on her next three years of school: Definition, Potential, and Likewise.
While attending Berkeley High School in Berkeley, California, Schrag self-published her first comic series, Awkward, depicting events from her first year, originally selling copies to friends and family. Schrag accepts the label of ‘dyke comic book artist’. Her novel Adam provoked controversy with its theme of a heterosexual teenage boy becoming drawn into the LGBTQ community of New York. Ariel Schrag (born December 29, 1979) is an American cartoonist and television writer who achieved critical recognition at an early age for her autobiographical comics.
