WRITER. FOUNDER. AWARD-WINNING STORYTELLER.
PEDDLER OF OPTIMISM.
andy Antoniacci is Writer, Author, Poet, Founder, and award-winning Storyteller. She
has been called "the voice of optimism needed for today's generation" by Forbes Magazine, an "Entrepreneur to Watch in 2021" by Business Insider, and one of the "Most Inspiring People to Follow in 2021" by Yahoo Entertainment.

​
After two unexpected spinal surgeries in one year, Mandy spent 21-weeks bedridden, with her body upright, at a ninety-degree angle. As a marathoner, immobility was daunting. Mandy leaned into the power of words to help her heal. From an isolated recovery bed, she started sharing what she wrote, and as a result, built a global fanbase reaching over half a million people weekly.
​
Mandy turns poetic insights from her inspiring journey of resilience and reinvention into viral writings, highly-relatable brands, and sold-out venues. She has shared the stage with other global wellness luminaries such as Brene Brown, Deepak Chopra, and motivational sports figures such as Tony Hawk and Shaquille O'Neal.
​
A transformative storyteller, Mandy collaborates with global brands such as Asics and KIND—where she is an International Spokesperson and a face of their campaign, "Be KIND To Yourself."
Together with her projects, her forthcoming books, and her company, Mandy pledged a goal to uplift one million people around the world in her lifetime.
Mandy can usually be found in New York City, where she resides, writing, or learning to run again in preparation for her next marathon—because there will be another.
Mandy is represented by Park & Fine Literary & Media Agency, who's clients include the likes of New York Times Best-Selling Author, Nicolas Sparks: The Notebook, Dear John.

Amid the 2020 corona-virus pandemic, Mandy created The Daily Uplift —a project authoring inspiring reflections and personalized letters to strangers, to help address its global mental health toll. The project received hundreds of submissions from five countries within one week and was used to uplift frontline workers daily. It has since reached 42 countries and has been translated into several languages. In the spring of 2021, Mandy is launching her first-ever retail line under the brand, The Daily Uplift, where proceeds help fund emotional and mental support programs.
