Castañeda is one of the few, if not the only, actress who has published her writings. She started writing for SoHo magazine in 2004, and was asked to have her own column: El Closet. The column was somehow irreverent and very free spirit maybe due to her New York stories, and created controversy all over the country. She talked without mystery about partying in the 21st century, love, sex and romance. On 2005 she wrote her first book Manual para Salir de la Tusa (Guide to get over heart breaks) a funny and satirical piece, published by Editorial Norma, a best seller for over a year in Colombia. Sporadic articles for News Papers and magazine came along until the newspaper El País published one short story "El Palo de Golf" which later made part of a series of 10 short stories La noche del Demonio (The Night of the Demon), published in 2007 by Villegas Editores. For a year and a half she wrote a column in la Revista Cromos magazine: Profundamente light, where using her freshness and kind of naive way of approaching live, she pictured today's way of relating girls have to have nice legs, nice smiles and a nice brain.
In December 2010, Castañeda published her first novel, Virginia Casta, with Villegas Editores. This novel which took her one-year to write is a romantic comedy, with a witty and very romantic taste that puts the protagonist in a daunting situation when she finds out, by the tarot reading given by her grandmother, that she will drawn, lose her job and marry the other guy. so far, Virginia Casta is already in second edition. The novel was taken into film by actor/director Claudio Cataño. She has been married to Claudio Cataño for seven years.
