Career
While in college, Ginder worked as an intern in the offices of U.S. Representative Loretta Sanchez.[4] Upon completing his education, Ginder served as a speechwriter for John Podesta at the Center for American Progress.[5] In 2009, he published his first novel, This is How it Starts, a story of young government employees and interns working in Washington, D.C.

In a starred review, the industry publication Booklist called the book, "lively, funny, gritty, and achingly real," comparing Ginder to novelists Junot Diaz and Michael Chabon.[6] In The Boston Globe, critic Karen Campbell called the work "engaging, colorful, direct, and imaginative," and "a stirring, memorable trip."[7] The New Yorker magazine called the work "a sensitively observed story," about "lessons that bear repeating."[8] Шаблон:As of, Ginder lives in Brooklyn, and teaches writing at New York University, his alma mater.[9]
