Jennifer Ann Sinor is an American author and literary nonfiction writer and professor. She primarily writes memoir, research-based creative nonfiction, and personal essays that experiment with non-linear forms. Sinor's work focuses on the body, the ineffable, and the ordinary in our lives. It is often non-linear in form and relies on association, juxtaposition, and speculative leaps.
Born in Kingsville, Texas, Sinor was raised as a military dependent.[citation needed] Her father, a naval lawyer specializing in international ocean law, was stationed in Hawaii several times as well as the Pentagon. [citation needed]
Sinor graduated from the University of Nebraska–Lincoln, in 1987 with degrees in both English and Russian.[1] While teaching 7th and 8th graders at ASSETS school in Honolulu, Hawaii, Jennifer completed her MA in English from the University of Hawaii at Manoa. In 1995, she began her PhD in English and Education at the University of Michigan where she focused on women's autobiographical writing.[2] She graduated in 2000 and moved to Logan, Utah. Since then, Sinor has taught in the English Department at Utah State University where she is the chair of the creative writing emphasis and a professor of English.[3]
