Jeremy Klaszus is a Calgary-based magazine writer, newspaper columnist, memoirist and stay-at-home dad.
He loves listening to people’s stories and bringing those stories to a wide audience through his journalism. To this end he’s written about a noisy loudspeaker preacher, grandstanding politicians at city hall, fishermen living downstream from the Alberta oilsands — and yes, Jeremy occasionally writes about his own life, too.
His work has been published in the pages of Reader’s Digest, Alberta Views, the Calgary Herald, Fast Forward Weekly and Swerve.
In 2007, Jeremy won the National Magazine Award for best new writer. In 2010 he won another NMA for “Mr. Tree,” a memoir about his Opapa’s boyhood in Nazi Germany. (You can find that story in Cabin Fever: The Best New Canadian Non-Fiction.)
Currently, he writes a freelance column for the Calgary Herald that runs on the op-ed page every other Monday.
His email address is jeremy.klaszus@gmail.com
