I'm the author of four novels: Bog Queen, Outlawed, America Pacifica, and The Life and Death of Sophie Stark. Bog Queen was a national bestseller and National Book Foundation Science + Literature Selected Title. Outlawed was an instant New York Times bestseller and Reese’s Book Club and Belletrist pick. In addition to my fiction writing, I'm also a senior correspondent at Vox, covering American work and family life. Previously, I was a writer and editor at the New York Times, Salon, BuzzFeed and Jezebel. I grew up in Los Angeles, graduated from the Iowa Writers’ Workshop, and now live in Brooklyn.
