Jen Karuza Schile is a writer of all things
related to the work and life of commercial fishing families. She's conducted interviews from salmon fishing grounds outside
of Ketchikan to Bering Sea fishing vessels tied up in Dutch Harbor. She's written stories from within the gates of Oregon
shipyards to tables at the Highliner Tavern in Ballard.
Now
the wife of a fisherman and mother of two young children, Jen writes from home. She rises before the sun (just as she did
while working in Alaska alongside her sisters as a deckhand aboard her father’s boat) to meet deadlines and work on
writing projects.
Jen publishes profiles, features,
and personal essays in both trade and mainstream publications. She's been a correspondent for National Fisherman magazine
and has been published in Pacific Fishing. Her personal essays have been published in the anthologies
A Matter of Choice: 25 People Who Transformed Their Lives, Steady as She Goes: Women’s Adventures
at Sea, and P.S. What I Didn't Say: Unsent Letters to Our Female Friends.
