Biographical Note

Author and educator Scott Russell Sanders was born in Tennessee and raised in Ohio. Sanders studied at Brown University and earned his Ph.D. as a Marshall Scholar at Cambridge University. Among his twenty books are novels, collections of stories, and works of personal nonfiction, including Staying Put (1993), Writing from the Center (1995), and Hunting for Hope (1998). His memoir, A Private History of Awe (2006), was nominated for a Pulitzer Prize. His writing examines the human place in nature, the character of community, the relation between culture and geography, and the search for a spiritual path.

Among his honors are the Lannan Literary Award, the Associated Writings Programs Creative Nonfiction Award, the John Burroughs Essay Award, the Mark Twain Award, the Indiana Authors Award, and the Cecil Woods Award in Nonfiction, as well as fellowships from the Guggenheim Foundation and the National Endowment for the Arts. His work has appeared in such magazines as Orion, Audubon, and The Georgia Review, and it has been reprinted in The Art of the Essay, The Norton Reader, and more than one hundred other anthologies, including the annual Best American Essays. He and his wife, Ruth, a biochemist, have raised two children in their hometown of Bloomington, Indiana.
