Lee Kravitz

Lee Kravitz is the author of PILGRIM: Risking the Life I Have to Find the Faith I Seek (Hudson Street Press) and UNFINISHED BUSINESS: One Man's Extraordinary Year of Trying to Do the Right Things (Bloomsbury USA.) He describes himself as "a perpetual seeker. I go on journeys of self-healing and spiritual growth; then I write about them. My hope is that my books and blog posts will inspire readers to go on their own transformational journeys."

Lee was born in Cleveland, Ohio, and attended Yale and the Columbia Graduate School of Journalism. He began his career as a freelance journalist and photographer, reporting on politics, culture and human rights issues in the developing world. Prior to becoming a full-time author, he was an editorial director at Scholastic Inc, the founding editor of React magazine for teens, and editor in chief of Parade, the Sunday newspaper magazine.

Lee lives in New York City with his wife Elizabeth Kaplan, a literary agent, and their three teenagers. They have two dogs and three cats, who make frequent appearances in his books.
