Connie Schultz is a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist who spent most of her career as a columnist at The Plain Dealer in Cleveland. Her non-fiction books, Life Happens and And His Lovely Wife, draw on her journalism and her experience as the spouse of a U.S. Senator.
Her first novel, The Daughters of Erietown (2020), is a multigenerational story set in a small Ohio town, following a family from the 1950s through the early 2000s. The book reflects Schultz’s long attention to working-class American life and the quiet ways that class, gender, and place shape families over decades. She has also published Lola and the Troll, a 2024 picture book.
