Pamela Kruger is a writer, editor, and consultant who specializes in covering business, parenting, and women’s issues. She has been a contributing editor, writer, and consultant at many national media organizations, including The New York Times (Sunday business), Lifetime Television Online, Fortune Small Business, Good Housekeeping, Parenting, Fast Company, Time Inc., and Child. Her work also has appeared in The International Herald Tribune, Reader’s Digest, Philadelphia Inquirer, Redbook, Ms., Oxygen Media, and others.

As an editor and consultant, she has conceived, assigned, and edited features, essays, columns, investigative projects, and special sections on a range of topics for both print and online publications. She also has been the editor of several business books and recently completed work as a writer for a Business Week book series. As a journalist, she has traveled from Silicon Valley to Eastern Europe, reporting on parenting and business trends and personalities. Kruger profiled a Berkeley, California psychologist who treats large numbers of women “betrayed by work,” reported on the exodus of young families to the "exurbs," and exposed the growing number of middle class and affluent parents who failed to save for their children’s college educations—with disastrous results. She also enjoys writing personal essays, including a travel piece about taking her young daughters to Spain's Castile y Leon region and an essay about why she is fed up hearing how lucky she is to work from home.

In November 2005, Penguin/Riverhead published A Love Like No Other: Stories from Adoptive Parents, a book that Kruger co-edited with fellow journalist Jill Smolowe. The collection of essays, one of which was written by Kruger, has been much praised for its complex and nuanced portrait of adoptive parenting. The book was published in paperback in October 2006. That month, Kruger’s essay, "Dumped," also appeared in the anthology, Searching for Mary Poppins (Penguin/Hudson Street Press). Her essay, "How I Became a 'Nag,'" appeared in Blindsided by a Diaper, published by Random House in July 2007. It was reprinted on Lifetime TV's web site.

She has been the recipient of the University of Maryland Family and Child Policy Fellowship (2005), the Casey Journalism Center for Family and Child Fellowship (2001), and a 2006 New York Times Company Foundation Fellowship. Her work has received an Exceptional Merit Media Award and an Association for Education Publishers’ Distinguished Achievement Award.

Kruger has taught magazine and feature writing at New York University and the New School for Social Research, as well as been a guest lecturer at other schools. Currently, she is an adjunct professor at New York University, where she handles careers/internships advising for the graduate Business and Economic Reporting Program. She has BA degrees in English and Political Science from the University of Pennsylvania and an MA degree in English from Columbia University.
