About Tina
Researcher. Educator. Mother. Writer.
Tina Bossio is a children's book writer based in the Hudson Valley, New York. She writes for children who are noticing more than they are letting on, and for the overlooked thing that has been there the whole time.
Over a 25-year career in marketing and strategic leadership, she developed STEAM enrichment curriculum for children ages 2–12, served as a K–4 classroom aide in public elementary schools, and published research on ethical practice in child-focused studies in the Journal of Marketing Research. Reading aloud in those classrooms is where she learned what a story sounds like landing: the pause before the laugh, the page nobody lets you turn.
She has been writing since she was seven, and writing children's books for more than ten years. She lives with her husband and their toddler and teenager, both of whom keep turning up in the manuscripts.
Tina is represented by Shannon Gallagher of Wernick & Pratt Agency.
Member of SCBWI and KidLit FireFly
