Gitty Daneshvari was born in Los Angeles to an Iranian father and an American mother. As a child she talked incessantly, feeling the need to comment on everything around her. While at first charmed by her verbose nature, her family soon tired of the constant commenting. This is how she found writing—it was better than talking since she didn't even need anyone else to do it with. She currently lives in New York City and yes she still talks too much.
