Toni Federico

Toni Federico, MFA, is an author whose Amazon-bestselling debut novel Awakening established her as a writer of emotionally rich, character-driven fiction. Toni explores the inner worlds of complex women shaped by trauma, resilience, and societal expectations. Her essays have appeared in Writer’s Digest, Elephant Journal, and The Mighty. And her literary papers have been presented at the Pop Culture Association/American Culture Association National Conference. Toni’s work spans the romance and upmarket fiction genres. Her recent novel, Longing, traces the coming-of-age of a young woman navigating generational trauma, addiction, and the tender, painful work of growing into herself. Her current novel-in-progress, A Murder of Crows, follows a woman rebuilding her identity after decades of abuse. Forced to confront the narratives that once defined her, she must choose who she is when survival is no longer the only goal.
