Writing

Pinsker says her writing is heavily influenced by the science fiction and literary fiction which filled her parents' home,^[6] adding she is one of the rare authors who read "short stories as much as novels" when she was young.^[5] Among her early influences as an author were the works of Ursula K. Le Guin ^[6] and Kate Wilhelm.^[7] Later influences on her fiction include Octavia Butler, Karen Joy Fowler, Kij Johnson, and Kelly Link.^[7]

Pinsker started out publishing her short fiction in magazines such as Asimov's Science Fiction , Fantasy & Science Fiction , Lightspeed, Strange Horizons , Daily Science Fiction, the Journal of Unlikely Cartography, and Fireside.
