About Carly E. Stern

I’m an independent journalist based in Brooklyn, formerly by way of San Francisco. I typically cover the intersection of housing, economic hardship and health care. My work has appeared in publications including The New York Times, Vox, The Washington Post, the Guardian and the San Francisco Chronicle, among others. I’m also a contributor to Nieman Storyboard and was a research editor for Air Mail, where I managed research operations for a new monthly vertical. In addition, I work as a writing coach, journalism educator and developmental editor — helping to enhance voice on the page — and as a volunteer editor for the Prison Journalism Project. My work has been supported by the Fund for Investigative Journalism, the Economic Hardship Reporting Project, the Fuller Project and the Journalists in Aging Fellows program. I’ve won nine San Francisco Press Club Awards and my work was part of a package recognized in the 2022 California Journalism Awards. I’m a member of The San Francisco Writers Grotto, ASME Next, the Association of Health Care Journalists, SPJ NorCal, Study Hall, The Writers’ Co-op and Solutions Journalism Network. I’ve taught about the business of freelancing at Duke University, my alma mater, and the Princeton Summer Journalism Program.Website: carly-stern.com
