Whynott was born in Hyannis, Massachusetts, in 1950. He worked as a piano tuner while attending college and was the concert tuner at the University of Massachusetts Amherst Fine Arts Center in Amherst, Massachusetts from 1976 to 1986. His first book, Following the Bloom, was begun as a graduate student when he worked for a summer as a Massachusetts apiary inspector, and met a commercial migratory beekeeper named Andy Card. His second book, Giant Bluefin, tells the story of two years in the giant bluefin tuna fishery on Cape Cod and New England, from the vantage point of harpoon boats and focusing on the economics of the fishery, the Japanese markets, and federal government stock assessments. A Unit of Water, A Unit of Time tells the story of the construction of three sailboats at a boatyard in Maine owned by Joel White, the son of E. B. White, and accounts for when White was creating his final masterpiece. A Country Practice tells the story of two years at a veterinary clinic in Walpole, New Hampshire. According to Norman Sims, writing in True Stories, a history of literary journalism, Whynott is “an acknowledged master of the literary journalism of everyday life.” Whynott has taught writing and literature at the University of Massachusetts, Mount Holyoke College, Columbia University, and is an associate professor of writing in the Writing, Literature and Publishing Program at Emerson College.
