Inge Oosterhoff is a freelance journalist from the Netherlands with a penchant for niche communities, curious histories, and small-town idealism. 

After falling in love with narrative non-fiction as a 2014 editorial intern at Dave Eggers' oral history nonprofit Voice of Witness, Inge has spent the past decade honing different styles of narrative storytelling, including audio, long-form and interactive multimedia in both Dutch and English.

​

She finds stories through curiosity about the lives of others and the belief that voices from the margins help us better understand the world's biggest issues. Her work has appeared in The Guardian, The New York Times, The Cut, BBC Radio, De Correspondent, De Groene Amsterdammer and other places.

​

At the moment she is working on a project about the first generation of "Snowflakes" children, who were born through the Snowflakes Embryo Adoption program in the 1990s.

​

Inge is a 2023 Fulbright graduate of New York University's MFA Literary Reportage program and holds MA and BA degrees in North American Studies and Language- and Culture Studies from Leiden and Utrecht University.  

​

Eager to spread the narrative non-fiction bug in her homeland, Inge teaches narrative reporting to journalism trainees. She's also a former board member of the Initiative Narrative Journalism Netherlands and co-organizer of the annual True Stories festival in Amsterdam.
