Garmus had always wanted to be a writer and attended the University of California, Santa Cruz, to study English Literature. She once worked as an editor for a scientific publisher after graduation. It was there she met the scientist who went on to fact-check her novel.

After working at the publisher, Garmus tried her hand at writing computer manuals for a short time before realizing how much she disliked it.

She went on to become a copywriter specializing in technology and medicine. She opened up her own business in Seattle because she wanted to have the option of turning down projects.
