Born in Shaker Heights, Ohio, Kathryn Schulz grew up in a family that valued intellectual discourse. She attended Shaker Heights High School, graduating in 1992, and then pursued a Bachelor of Arts in history from Brown University, completing her studies in 1996. Initially planning to further her academic career with a Ph.D., Schulz took a year off, which led her to Portland, Oregon, and then to Costa Rica. During her time in Costa Rica, she transitioned into journalism, becoming an editor and reporter at The Santiago Times. This experience solidified her interest in pursuing ideas outside of academia, prompting her return to the United States in 2001, where she began working for Grist in New York City.
Schulz joined The New Yorker as a staff writer in 2015, focusing on books, science, and culture. A significant achievement in her career came in 2016 when she was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Feature Writing and a National Magazine Award for her article, “The Really Big One.” This piece detailed the seismic risk in the Pacific Northwest and highlighted her investigative reporting skills. Her essays and reports have been featured in various “Best American” anthologies, including “The Best American Science and Nature Writing,” “The Best American Travel Writing,” and “The Best American Essays.” Prior to her role at The New Yorker, she was the book critic for the biweekly magazine New York.

Her work often delves into complex topics, ranging from philosophical inquiries into error to personal narratives of loss and love. She was also a recipient of the Pew Fellowship in International Journalism in 2004, enabling her to report from diverse regions including Central and South America, Japan, and the Middle East.
