💡 Welcome to Sutoscience by Amy Suto
Hello!!! 👋 You’re reading 💡 Sutoscience and I’m Amy Suto.
I’m a bestselling author and freelance writer, and I came up as a TV writer in Hollywood before traveling the world for 5 years as a digital nomad, and recently settled down in San Francisco.
🧘 I also teach yoga here for fun and for the zen vibes.
Anyways, welcome to my creative laboratory — where I combine random ingredients and blow stuff up for your reading pleasure. 🔬🧪
📚 You may know me from my most recent nonfiction book Write for Money and Power or my romantasy novel The Ash Trials, and you can find all of my books here.
💌 You also might know me from my other Substack community, ✍️ Make Writing Your Job where I do interviews with authors and host a writing job board to help writers ahem make writing their job. ✨
Regardless of how you found me, I’m glad you’re here!

📚 My Books
Want to see some finished experiments that (mostly) didn’t explode?
Write for Money and Power
“I’ve read all the writing books, and I honestly didn’t expect to be so moved and informed by this — the author is a bolt of lightning that will help propel any writer to greater heights. Thoroughly enjoyed!” —USA Today Bestselling Author Rachael Herron
“The writing is so welcoming, funny and informative.” —Sunday Times Bestselling Author Emma Gannon
AMAZON BESTSELLING AUTHOR, TOP-25 BESTSELLING SUBSTACK NEWSLETTER CREATOR, AND 7-FIGURE WRITER AMY SUTO SPILLS HER SECRETS
Still buying the starving artist myth? Burn it — and get paid.
The gatekeepers told you poverty was noble so that you’d shut up and stay cheap. Ready to write your way out of the lie designed to keep you small, obedient, and broke?
If you’ve ever felt trapped in a writing career that pays in “exposure” or pocket change, this is your permission slip to demand more. Much more.
Amy Suto went from broke in the Hollywood trenches to becoming booked out as a seven-figure writer, bestselling author, and creator of a top-25 Substack newsletter. In Write for Money and Power, she shows you exactly how she did it — and how you can too, even if you’ve never made a dollar from your writing before.
Whether you’re a freelancer, a ghostwriter, a novelist, or any kind of writer with bills to pay and a vision to realize, this isn’t another “believe in yourself” pep talk. It’s a real, grown-up plan to make money and grow your personal power with your writing.
If you’d rather make history than excuses — keep reading.

The deadliest game is remembering who you are.
The Ash Trials is a fast-paced fantasy romance novel following Saffron Vale, a human who wakes up in a magical prison for spellcasters with no memory of who she is. She must compete in the Ash Trials to win her freedom — and must decide who to trust.
