Schroeder concentrated on Westerns, together with Harrison Jacobs she wrote several entries in the Hopalong Cassidy series. During the 1950s and 1960s, she wrote many television and film tie-in young adult novels for Western Publishing.

Her brother, Edward Schroeder, eventually moved to Hollywood and became a prolific film editor; he, too, worked on Westerns. Her husband, George Green, was a screenwriter and producer who also worked in the Western genre. The pair divorced in 1944.
