A staff writer for The New Yorker, she previously worked as deputy editor of Jezebel and a contributing editor at The Hairpin.

After graduating from UVA in 2009, Tolentino spent a year as a Peace Corps volunteer in Kyrgyzstan.
Tolentino earned an MFA from the University of Michigan.
Flavorwire called her a "go-to music source," while her first short story won the fall 2012 Raymond Carver Short Fiction Contest and was nominated for a Pushcart Prize.
She has also garnered favorable attention for essays on topics such as race in publishing, marriage, abortion, and notions of female empowerment, as well as for her no-pulled-punches music criticism.
The A.V. Club admired "Tolentino's sick burns on Charlie Puth" and Studio 360 observed that even in the near-universal panning of Magic!'s song "Rude", "no criticism has been quite as cutting as Jia Tolentino's."
Tolentino has reported extensively on the #MeToo movement.
Tolentino began writing for The Hairpin in 2013, hired by then-editor-in-chief Emma Carmichael.
In 2014, Tolentino and Carmichael both moved to Jezebel, where Tolentino worked for two years before joining The New Yorker.
Tolentino's writing has won accolades across genres.

In a review for The New York Times, Maggie Doherty wrote: "Tolentino’s earnest ambivalence, expressed often throughout the book, is characteristic of millennial life-writing, and it can be contrasted with boomer self-satisfaction and Gen X disaffection in the same genre."
Slate columnist Laura Miller wrote in her review of the book, "Tolentino is a classical essayist along the lines of Montaigne, threading her way on the page toward an understanding of what she thinks and feels about life, the world, and herself."
Lauren Oyler's negative review of Trick Mirror in the London Review of Books, "skewer[ed] the essays’ shallowness and prose quality," though Tolentino reacted positively to the review, calling it a "cleansing, illuminating experience to be read with such open disgust!"
Her 2021 reporting on the conservatorship of Britney Spears, co-authored with Ronan Farrow, attracted international attention, with the piece being described as "blistering" by Tyler Aquilina in Entertainment Weekly and as a "journalistic reference text on Britney Spears" by Dirk Peitz in Die Zeit.

Tolentino met her partner, Andrew Daley, an architect, while they were students at UVA.
