She studied comparative literature and drama, amongst other subjects, at the University of Tampere. Professionally she worked in the advertising business, rising to the level of marketing designer. An important figure in the burgeoning Finnish science fiction scene in the late 1980s and early '90s (winning a rare back-to-back collection of Atorox prizes for short fiction in the genre), she was also the first to make a breakthrough by bursting the genre barriers. Sinisalo was awarded the Finlandia Prize for literature in 2000 for her first novel, Ennen pivnlaskua ei voi (translated as Not before sundown in 2003 and again as Troll A Love Story in 2004 for the American market). The novel has been translated to several languages. Not Before Sundown was awarded The James Tiptree Jr. award in 2004. Movie rights were acquired by Carter Smith in 2006. She was nominated for a Nebula Award in 2009 for Baby Doll. She is also confirmed as the screenwriter of Energia Productions Iron Sky movie, a sci-fi comedy set in 2018.
