Sarah Elizabeth Richards

Sarah Elizabeth Richards is a New York City-based journalist and the author of Motherhood, Rescheduled: The New Frontier of Egg Freezing and the Women Who Tried It, a narrative non-fiction book that chronicles the lives of four women who attempt to preserve their fertility by freezing their eggs. Sarah explores the tantalizing questions: How would you live your life if you could stop your biological clock? If you could finally be free of the “baby panic” that has tormented an entire generation of women who postponed motherhood to pursue degrees or careers? Would you date better? Marry later? Relax more?

Sarah specializes in covering health and medicine, psychology and social issues and has written for two dozen newspapers, magazines, and websites – including The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Time, Newsweek, Elle, Marie Claire, Slate and Salon. She completed her undergraduate studies at the University of California at Berkeley and holds master's degrees from the Graduate School of Journalism and the School of International and Public Affairs at Columbia University. A recipient of numerous awards, she is a three-time winner of the Newswomen’s Club of New York’s Front Page award, most recently in the science category for a story about a controversial infertility treatment for Elle Magazine.
