Born in Guelph, Ontario, Sabatini is a graduate of the doctoral program in English Literature at the University of Waterloo. She also has a master's degree in creative writing from the University of Guelph where she currently teaches.

Her first collection of short stories, The One with the News (2000), a collection of linked stories exploring the impact of Alzheimer's disease on a family, was shortlisted for the Upper Canada Writers’ Craft Award. Sabatini's second book Making Babies: Infants in Canadian Fiction (2004) was a critical breakthrough,[citation needed] exploring how babies are becoming more predominant in contemporary Canadian fiction and developing their own literary identity. Her first novel, The Dolphins at Sainte-Marie (2006), explores small town living in Southern Ontario and the curiosities of youth and inexperience. She is currently writing a novel about a Italian soldier stationed in Africa during the Second World War.
