Christina Fanelli Author

Christina Fanelli, Author & Advocate, Hi, I’m Christina Fanelli—an author, freelance writer, and epilepsy advocate with a deep love for storytelling. Since I was six months old, I’ve been living with seizures, and I was officially diagnosed with epilepsy after a grand mal seizure at age 10. My journey hasn’t been easy, but it’s shaped who I am today: resilient, passionate, and determined to turn life’s struggles into meaningful stories.While raising my children and working full-time, I went back to school to earn my Bachelor’s degree in Database Development and Administration, building on my Associate’s degree in Business and several diplomas in literature and writing. Writing has always been my outlet—even when others said it wouldn’t lead to success. I kept going.When the world changed during the COVID-19 pandemic, I found new purpose in freelance writing. I began contributing articles to newspapers and magazines, and even wrote about New York for a book featuring all 50 states. That experience brought me back to the dream I had always carried: publishing my own book.That dream became reality with Steps Forward, a memoir that tells the story of my life with epilepsy—a story of growth, courage, and overcoming the odds. From there, I went on to write Breaking Habits and Taking Chances, the latter inspired by a vivid dream that lit a creative spark I couldn’t ignore.Writing has given me a way to connect with others, to inspire hope, and to share that no matter what life throws your way, it’s always possible to move forward. Thank you for being here, and I hope my words speak to something in your own story.

I'm Christina Fanelli an author whose life has been shaped by both triumph and struggle. My journey began in a way many would never imagine, facing the challenge of seizures since the age of six months. It wasn’t until I was 10 that I was officially diagnosed with epilepsy after experiencing a grand mal seizure. My book Steps Forward chronicles that journey, offering readers a deep look into living with epilepsy, embracing change, and finding inner strength in the face of adversity.Though writing has always been my dream, life had other plans. As a mother, I balanced raising children while returning to school to earn my bachelor’s degree in Database Development and Administration. Prior to that, I obtained an Associate's in Business and earned diplomas in literature and writing. These educational experiences laid the foundation for a future I hadn’t fully imagined yet.For many years, I worked full-time while raising my family, never believing I could make a living from writing. But after my kids graduated and the pandemic hit, I seized the opportunity to dive into freelance writing, a decision that changed everything.I started by writing articles for newspapers and magazines, and soon after, I was invited to contribute to a book featuring stories from all 50 states. I wrote about New York, and the positive feedback I received fueled my confidence to keep writing. This led to Breaking Habits, a personal growth book I authored, exploring how to navigate change and embrace transformation.The true turning point came when I wrote Taking Chances, a book inspired by a vivid dream I couldn’t ignore. That dream sparked the courage to finally write Steps Forward, the book I had always dreamed of but lacked the confidence to create until that pivotal moment.Today, I continue to write, share my experiences, and inspire others to embrace their own journeys, no matter the obstacles. Writing is more than just my passion, it’s my way of understanding the world and connecting with others. Each book I write is a piece of my heart, and I’m grateful to share these stories with you.
