Jessica Grose
is an opinion writer at The New York Times.
Her new book “Screaming on the Inside: The Unsustainability of American Motherhood” (Mariner Books) is out now! Buy it on Amazon or on Bookshop.
The New York Times described “Screaming” as “fierce, timely, unflinching.” Kirkus gave it a starred review and said, “Grose’s fiery compassion is matched by her profoundly complex understanding of the material and her trenchant, witty prose.” Publisher’s Weekly called it a “stirring account” and said that “Mothers struggling to keep their heads above water will find camaraderie in this empathetic outing.” The San Francisco Chronicle said, “If this book feels like it’s sounding the alarm on the state of American motherhood, well, that’s because it is.”
People Magazine says “Screaming” is one of the best books of 2023 so far. And it is SELF’s February book club pick.
Jess was the founding editor of Lenny, the email newsletter and website. She also writes about women’s health, culture, and grizzly bears. She was named one of LinkedIn’s Next Wave top professionals 35 and under in 2016 and a Glamour “Game Changer” in 2020 for her coverage of the pandemic.
Her second novel, SOULMATES, was published in 2016. It’s about a broken marriage, a spiritual awakening, and a murder at a yoga retreat. Soulmates is “delightfully sly” according to Elle, “a killer read” per Cosmopolitan, and “compelling, funny, painful and wry,” says the Globe and Mail.
Her debut novel, SAD DESK SALAD, came out in 2012. It takes place at a women’s website and Jess refers to it as “the devil wears sweatpants.” Glamour called it “Dishy, zingy, hilarious.”
She was formerly a senior editor at Slate, and an editor at Jezebel. Her work has appeared in The New York Times, New York, the Washington Post, Businessweek, Elle, Cosmopolitan, and many other publications. She lives in Brooklyn with her husband and daughters.
