Jay Heinrichs

Jay Heinrichs grew up in Connecticut and began his career as a journalist. In the 1980s he worked in publishing, and later became the head of Spirit, the inflight magazine for Southwest Airlines. In the late nineties, Heinrichs retired from publishing and began writing full-time. He’s published three books, all of which revolve around the art of rhetoric, his lifelong passion: Thank You for Arguing (2007), Winning Arguments (2010), and Word Hero (2011). Heinrichs lives in New Hampshire with his wife, and he has two adult children, both of whom feature prominently in his books.
