ABOUT ME.

Hi! I’m Amanda Cirilli. Like many girls who grew up in the ’90s, my love for stories began with Beauty and the Beast. It was my favorite Disney movie and the spark that ignited my passion for all things fantasy.

In eighth grade, I joined an after-school club called Power of the Pen—a group dedicated to writing short stories based on prompts. That’s where my love for writing truly began.

By the time I was twelve, I had started writing my first YA fantasy novel—a project that grew with me into adulthood. Although it hasn’t been published yet, I hope to one day share that story with the world.

A few years ago, I rediscovered my love of reading through fantasy and contemporary romance. These stories inspired me to begin writing romantasy—a genre that combines everything I adore: escapism, magical worlds, and all the tropes I can’t get enough of.

The Starlight Princess, the series I’m currently working on, has been my passion project for the past few years, and I’m beyond excited to be taking the next steps toward publishing it.

When I’m not writing, reading, or daydreaming about fictional characters, I’m a wife and mom to three adorable, wild boys. I’m fully embracing my boy mom era—and loving every chaotic minute of it.
