Biography
Carmen Kohlruss is a writer who is passionate about storytelling that connects people and initiates exploration to promote greater understanding. Her stories have received many journalism awards throughout her 16-year journalism career. Carmen’s favorite stories are narrative essays/features/profiles etc. that pair personal reflection with reporting. A career highlight was crafting this kind of creative nonfiction in The Fresno Bee’s features department, where she had a weekly column, Heart in the San Joaquin, that won a Best of the West in its first year. Carmen has an affinity for stories that focus on our shared humanity. She also brings that human element into the more traditional news stories she often finds herself writing, digging into challenging issues to spotlight problems. Obsessive about writing and research, she dives deeply into a wide range of subjects with a Renaissance woman of news mentality in pursuit of bringing pertinent information to light in a way that resonates. As a freelancer, her stories have been published in Sierra, Audubon, and Tricycle magazines, along with Good Beer Hunting, Civil Eats, Prism Reports, Livability, and Medscape. Carmen previously worked as a staff reporter and columnist for 14 years at several newspapers — The Fresno Bee, Sierra Star, and Montana Kaimin — before deciding to resign to take up freelance writing starting in early 2023, pursuing more of the storytelling she loves as a freelancer. Carmen's stories have appeared in dozens of newspapers, magazines and news websites throughout her career. Carmen lives in Fresno, California within the central San Joaquin Valley and grew up in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada. More info about Carmen is available in her portfolio, carmenkohlruss.com.
