Natalie Tinti

Natalie Tinti (Born in 1999) is a California born children's author.

Personal Life and Career
Tinti resides in Southern California with her parents and three older siblings. At a young age, teachers diagnosed Tinti with a learning disability due to her inability to remember certain words. She ended up repeating Kindergarten as a consequence. It turned out she didn't have such a disability, rather she was more focused on the interpersonal relationships around her, wondering why some of her peers had friends, while others did not. This observation spawned a passion for writing, which lead to her 2009 release of Sewing a Friendship. According to the author's website she currently studies in California at the Orange County School of Arts, and Visual Art Conservatory.
