Amy Chozick (born 1979or1980 [1] ) is an American writer, journalist and showrunner who previously worked for the New York Times. She is the author of a memoir, Chasing Hillary, about covering Hillary Clinton, and co-created the adaptation of the book to television series, The Girls on the Bus .

Early life and education

Chozick grew up in a Jewish family [2] in San Antonio, Texas, where she began working in journalism writing for the San Antonio Express-News as part of a program offering school credit for working off campus. [3] She attended Tom C. Clark High School, [1] then the University of Texas at Austin, where she was originally a journalism major, but switched to English and Latin American studies after three weeks. [3]

Career

Chozick began writing about Clinton in 2007, while working for The Wall Street Journal . [4] In 2008, she was a member of the traveling press of both Clinton and Barack Obama. [3] Previously, she worked in a number of different places, including Tokyo. After writing for the Journal for eight years, she joined the Times in 2011 to write about corporate media. [5] In 2013, she was promoted to the Times' political team, with a focus on Hillary Clinton and the Clinton family. [6] In 2016, she said that as a result of her reporting on Clinton, specifically on her clinching the Democratic nomination for president in June of that year, that she had received death threats from supporters of Clinton's rival in this campaign, Bernie Sanders. [7]

She is the author of Chasing Hillary, a memoir about covering Clinton. With Julie Plec, Chozick adapted the book as a television series called The Girls on the Bus . [8]

In 2023, Chozick wrote a story extolling the putative transformation of Elizabeth Holmes, who was convicted for fraud in her role with Theranos, into a harmless suburban housewife. The piece was accompanied by glamorous photos of Holmes, including holding her two babies with a backdrop of the Pacific Ocean. Some media criticized Chozick for whitewashing a white collar criminal, [9] [10] but others said the profile succeeded in capturing Holmes as a con artist. [11]

Personal life

As of 2014, Chozick lives in the Lower East Side of New York City with her Irish-born husband, Robert Ennis. [12] Chozick and Ennis have a son, born in 2018, [1] who she had put off having so she could cover Clinton's presidential campaign. [13] [14]
