Biography

Reinhorn was born and raised in Portland, Oregon.[2]

She is a graduate of the Iowa Writers' Workshop[3] and the author of Big Cats, published by Free Press in 2005.[4] Big Cats received largely positive notice in Seattle Times, Post Magazine, Kirkus Reviews and Publishers Weekly.[5] [6] [7] [8] It was a Powell's bestseller.[9]

Her work has been published in Ploughshares,[10] ,[11] Gulf Coast, and many other literary magazines.[12]

She is married to actor Rainn Wilson, whom she met while both were students at the University of Washington.[1] The couple married on the Kalama River in Washington in 1995 and have one son, Walter (b. 2004).[13] They are both adherents of the Baháʼí Faith.[14] In 2009 Reinhorn was invited by Sean Penn's charity J/P Haitian Relief Organization to hold writing workshops for girls.[15] While in Haiti she co-founded Lide (Haitian Creole for "leader" or "idea"), a foundation to support young women interested in writing and creative arts.[15] Rather than the capital city, Port-au-Prince, Reinhorn chose the city of Gonaïves for its site, to "boost literacy and help the girls find dignity and learn life skills."[16]
