Tapia has published four books, beginning in 2004 with El sexo y otros cuentos de hadas (Sex and Other Fairy Tales).

The second, 2008's Sueños (Dreams), is a collection of dreams of politicians, actors, and friends, written with the participation of Dr. Marco Campuzano, and presented by Horacio Franco, Marisol Gasé, Humberto Vélez, Juan Alarcón, Ana Francis Mor, and Gustavo Munguía.

In 2011 she launched her third book, Tampoco se trata de ser perfectas (Nor is it a Question of Being Perfect), which includes a series of confessions made by women from different backgrounds.

Tapia is currently the presenter of the programs Almohadazo on cable television network 52MX, Juntas, ni difuntas with Mariana H. and Laura García on Proyecto 40, Hoy Te Toca with Paulina Mercado, and Diálogos en Confianza on Canal Once.

She has worked in media since the age of 32, on magazines such as Reporte Indigo and El Huevo, as well as newspapers such as El Centro, El Financiero, La Jornada, Publimetro, and UNOMÁSUNO.

However, as she has clarified on several occasions, she is not a journalist, since she does not have the training or studies that would qualify her as such.

In 2012 she contributed the epilogue to El bestiario político del Almohadazo (The Political Bestiary of El Almohadazo), developed by the writers of El Almohadazo and coordinated by the program's head of information, showing the political fauna of the country.

She has written several comic scripts and sketches for Eugenio Derbez, Leonorilda Ochoa, Víctor Trujillo, Ausencio Cruz, Héctor Suárez, and David Patiño, among others.

Fernanda Tapia has dubbed such well-known characters as Mary Alice Young in Desperate Housewives, Janet Darling on Clarissa Explains It All, and Mirage in the animated film The Incredibles.

Tapia is an adherent to BDSM and was on Amordidas and interviewed by Silvia Olmedo, where she demonstrated, to the shock of many viewers, how to be whipped.
