KATHRYN SCHULZ
Kathryn Schulz is a staff writer at The New Yorker and the author of Being Wrong: Adventures in the Margin of Error. She won a National Magazine Award and a Pulitzer Prize for “The Really Big One,” her article about seismic risk in the Pacific Northwest. Her 2022 memoir, Lost & Found, which Andrew Solomon called “a masterpiece of metaphysical insight,” is an uncommon book about common experiences and an exploration of our lives are shaped by loss and discovery—from the disappearance of everyday objects to the devastations of war, pandemic, and natural disaster; from finding new planets to falling in love. Her work has also appeared in The Best American Science and Nature Writing, The Best American Travel Writing, and The Best American Food Writing. Website • Twitter
SASHA LAPOINTE
Sasha LaPointe is an indigenous artist and writer. Her work has appeared in Shapes of Native Non-Fiction: Collected Essays by Contemporary Writers, Hunger Mountain, The Rumpus Literary Journal, and more! Her book Red Paint: The Ancestral Autobiography of a Coast Salish Punk blends the aesthetics of punk rock with the traditional spiritual practices of the women in her lineage in this bold, contemporary journey to reclaim her heritage and unleash her power and voice while searching for a permanent home. Sasha offers up an unblinking reckoning with personal traumas amplified by the collective historical traumas of colonialism and genocide that continue to haunt native peoples. Red Paint is an intersectional autobiography of lineage, resilience, and, above all, the ability to heal. Website • Twitter
