Katy St. Clair got her start in journalism by working in the classifieds department at the East Bay Express during the height of alt weeklies, then sweet talked her way into becoming staff writer, submissions editor, and music editor. She has been a columnist in the East Bay Express, SF Weekly, and the San Francisco Examiner. Starting in 2015, she begrudgingly scaled the inverted pyramid at dailies such as the Vallejo Times-Herald, The Vacaville Reporter, and the Daily Republic. She has her own independent news site and blog that covers the delightfully dysfunctional town of Vallejo, where she also collaborated with the investigative team at Open Vallejo. A passionate advocate for people with developmental disabilities, she serves on both the Board of the Arc of Solano and the Arc of California. Her story “A Very Special Concert,” about Huey Lewis’ loyal fanbase of developmentally disabled listeners, garnered her an ASCAP Deems Taylor Award for music writing and inclusion in Da Capo Press’ “Year’s Best Music Writing” book, edited by Mary Gaitskill. She lives in Vallejo.
