Hey 👋 I’m Amy — and I Made Writing My Job

I’m a seven-figure freelance writer, published author, and produced TV writer. These days, I ghostwrite bestselling memoirs for bold personalities from cafés in Paris and beach towns in Portugal. But I didn’t start there.

I launched my writing career from a tiny LA studio, juggling minimum-wage jobs and waking up at 5am to write before my shift. I would’ve given a kidney just to be able to write full-time.

Now? I’ve built a career — and a life — on writing. And I’m here to help you do the same.

🎉 Real Results for Writers

This community works — because it’s built by a working writer, for working writers.

Just ask Ben:

“I just started my first book ghostwriting gig, and I got it by applying on your job board! Thanks for doing what you do. Your job board is one of the best in the business, and your emails are all so relatable -- I've made writing my job since 2010 and it's a dream-come-true life with great money, complete flexibility, and frequent international travel. I have 15+ years of experience as a freelance content ghostwriter for executives, but this will be my first book. I've been trying to get my foot in the door as a book ghostwriter for a little while; this project will be a huge help to get my first book under my belt.”

Or Corinne:

“As an editor of narrative nonfiction and poetry, I was recently able to connect with a new client and creative collaborator through Amy's job board. I spotted a listing that sounded like an incredible project, combining a number of different narrative approaches that are in my skill set. I applied and, within a week, I was able to meet with the client, hear more about her project, and talk to her about where I could fit into her process; after our first conversation, she hired me. If you're working on a manuscript, too, feel free to reach out — I'd love to hear about it!” –Corinne

✨ Why I Built This

Because writing should give you freedom — not burnout.

It should take you places that make you feel alive: emotionally, creatively, financially. You don’t need to starve to be a writer. You just need the right roadmap, a bit of mentorship, and a community that gets it.

This space is here to help you turn your voice into value — and your writing into a real career.
