Anthony Philip Sciarratta was born in Maspeth, New York to Italian-American parents.
Growing up in a traditional family, Anthony shares a close bond with his paternal grandparents, who are immigrants from Italy. His Italian culture has a heavy influence on his earliest work since he was a child.
Anthony never strayed too far from home, staying in Queens for the remainder of his educational career. He attended St. Francis Preparatory school and Queens College as he continued to higher education. He finally broke form while pursuing his master’s degree at the New York Institute of Technology in Old Westbury.
Throughout his first few years of college, Anthony renewed his interest in writing by deciding to pursue a career in sports journalism. His dream was to work in football covering the New York Giants. Anthony went on to hold internships with SportsNet New York and the New York Jets. He spent a great deal of time blogging and reporting with news aggregates like FanSided and the Inquisitr, where he perfected his craft as a writer.
Coming close to college graduation, Anthony felt there was something missing in his life. He thought he wasn’t maximizing his writing abilities and decided to pursue digital filmmaking and television, a track in Communication Arts at the New York Institute of Technology. Anthony helped exercise his creative muscles at NYIT, where he formed the idea for his first novel, "Finding Forever: A 1970s Love Story."
"Finding Forever" was originally self-published through Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing, where Anthony received exposure for his work and managed to build a brand."Finding Forever" has since been re-released by Post Hill Press, making his success story inspirational to self-published authors everywhere.
Being nostalgic, Anthony takes great pride in labeling himself an old-soul. His love for classic films, music, and literature shows through his work. His stories include many personal elements, in addition to Christian and spiritual themes.
His most recent novel, "The Letter," and a book of poetry titled, "Faith in the Unknown," are available wherever books are sold.
