Hey 👋 I’m Amy Suto, and I made writing my job

I’m a seven-figure freelance writer, published author, and produced TV writer. These days, my clients fly me out to ghostwrite their memoirs from dreamy destinations — but I didn’t start out here.

I began my career in a tiny LA studio apartment, juggling minimum wage jobs, waking up at 5am to write before clocking in for the day. I would’ve given a kidney just to be able to write full-time.

Now? I write from wherever I want — cafes in Paris, beach towns in Portugal, or cozy corners at home — and I’ve built a writing life that funds my freedom.

And I’m here to help you do the same.

Here’s what you get when you step up:

Quarterly Mastermind Calls

Once a quarter, we get on Zoom — you, me, and other serious writers. It’s not coaching. It’s an accountability circle where you can share wins, roadblocks, and real plans. Ask questions. Get support. Make writing a little less solitary.

🤝 Sponsor a Writer in Need

This isn’t just about you. Your membership covers a year-long subscription for a writer who needs the break. Help someone else make writing their job.

24-Hour Head Start on Featured Jobs

Featured Jobs are our premium, client-submitted roles — and are often not posted anywhere else. Founding Members get to see these opportunities 24 hours before anyone else. That’s your competitive edge.

This tier is for the builders, the generous ones, the writers who know this is more than craft — it’s community.

Let’s make something bigger. Together.

🎉 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 Do This

I believe writing should give you freedom, not burnout. It should take you to places — physically, emotionally, and professionally — that make you feel alive. And no, you don’t need to be a starving artist to succeed.

You just need the right roadmap, a bit of mentorship, and a community that gets it.

That’s why I built this space — to help writers like you turn your passion into income, and your ideas into a sustainable, exciting career.
