Have you ever imagined a writing life where you jet off to different countries at the drop of a hat, depending on how you were feeling that day, writing whenever you wanted from wherever you wanted? Kind of sounds like a dream, right?

Well, it doesn't have to be. My guest today is actually doing just that. And she’s going to tell you exactly how she did it.

Amy Suto began her career as a Hollywood TV writer before she decided during the pandemic to quit the industry, hit the road and become a digital nomad and freelance writer. Among other endeavors, she ghostwrites memoirs, which has become her niche. She documented the rise of her career in her nonfiction book, Six Figure Freelance Writer, A Holistic Guide on Finding Freedom in Freelance.

Amy has also just released her first crime fiction novel, Nomad Detective Volume 1 following Detective Violet Chase who—unsurprisingly—is a digital nomad solving crimes.

I just love when people find the courage to live their dream, go do the things that they want to do, build a career around writing that most of us were told was simply that—a dream. Amy is living proof that it can be done.

We talked about:

• The reality of Hollywood writer rooms

• How she started and built her freelance career

• What ghostwriting memoirs looks like

• How to think about marketing and promo in this new digital age

And so much more.

If you’re dreaming of more freedom—and more money—in your writing life, this episode is for

you.
