Career
Writing
Niffenegger's debut novel, The Time Traveler's Wife, was published in 2003. A film adaptation was released in 2009.
She has written a graphic novel, or "novel in pictures" as Niffenegger calls it, called The Three Incestuous Sisters. This book tells the story of three unusual sisters who live in a seaside house. The book has been compared to the work of Edward Gorey.
Another graphic novel, The Adventuress, was released on September 1, 2006.
The 2004 short story 'The Night Bookmobile' was serialised in 2008 in 'Visual Novel' format in The Guardian.
In March 2009, Niffenegger sold her second novel, Her Fearful Symmetry, to Charles Scribner's Sons for an advance of $5 million. The book was released on October 1, 2009 and is set in London's Highgate Cemetery where, during research for the book, Niffenegger acted as a tour guide.
She is currently working on a novel called The Chinchilla Girl in Exile.
Art and academia
She is a professor in the Department of Creative Writing at Columbia College Chicago. She is the founding member of T3 or Text 3, an artist and writer's group that also performs and exhibits in Chicago.
Niffenegger is an alumna and board member of the Ragdale Foundation.
She described herself as "somewhere in the spectrum of agnosticism and atheism" and ascribed her disbelief to her Catholic background.
