Meet Amy Suto: Your Memoir Ghostwriter

Hiring a memoir ghostwriter for the first time?

I partner with visionary individuals — from Olympians to tech CEOs — to craft elegant, emotionally resonant memoirs and thought leadership books that reflect their voice, legacy, and impact.

As a published author and former TV writer with over a decade of experience, I bring storytelling precision, discretion, and care to every project. If you’re ready to turn your life’s work into a compelling book, I’m here to guide the way.

Have a story? Let’s talk.

FEATURED IN…

“Amy was the gift my book needed! I had written a memoir but it lacked a voice and emotion. Amy quickly found my voice, found my sub themes and rewrote my memoir. She brought me to tears when I read her rewrite outline as it was exactly what I had wanted and needed for my story. Amy works quickly, meets every deadline she sets and was so tapped into my vision and my story. The investment was worth every penny! She is incredibly talented and a pleasure to work with.”

My Memoir Ghostwriting Process

FREE DISCOVERY CALL

Ready to start your story? Send me a message and let's chat. On your complimentary discovery call, you can share the details about your story with me and what you’re looking for.

PROJECT COMMENCEMENT

Once we’re aligned, I’ll send a custom proposal and agreement to begin.

OUTLINING & THE ALCHEMY OF YOUR STORY

We begin with my proprietary two-part outline process: first, a macro story map that captures your themes, emotional arcs, and big-picture structure. Then, after your feedback, I create a chapter-by-chapter outline that serves as our roadmap.

This collaborative process draws on my background as a TV writer — blending narrative strategy with personal storytelling to bring your story vividly to life.

WRITING THE FIRST DRAFT

Each week, I’ll send a draft-in-progress along with a set of targeted questions. You can respond via voice memo, video, or email — whatever fits your workflow.

This asynchronous approach allows me to stay deeply immersed in your story and maintain momentum throughout the writing process.

REVISING TO PERFECTION

Once we have a complete manuscript, we’ll refine and sculpt. Your feedback is incorporated into a final, beautifully crafted draft, shaped with input from beta readers as needed.

PUBLISHING SUPPORT

Want a white-glove experience? I offer bespoke design and marketing referrals to help position your book for success — all with a focus on quality, alignment, and long-term ROI.

FAQ

Should I work with a ghostwriter who understands both traditional and self-publishing?

Yes. I guide clients through both paths. Many of my clients opt for self-publishing to retain control and accelerate their timeline — and I offer a seamless experience from manuscript to marketing. If desired, I can bring in my trusted book design and strategy team to help ensure your book finds the right audience.

How much does a high-end ghostwriter cost?

Working with a professional at this level is an investment in your legacy. Most full-service memoir projects fall within the six-figure range, depending on the complexity of your story and the level of support you’re looking for — including options for in-person collaboration.

How long does the writing process take?

That depends on your availability and the depth of the project. Timelines are discussed during the proposal stage, and I always ensure quality without rushing the creative process.

WHAT MY CLIENTS ARE SAYING

"I have talked to many author about my book before settling on Amy. Amy has a very creative way to make your story a reality the way you want. She is very patient and asked all the right questions as I am not the easiest person to understand. I would recommend anyone to Amy."
"If you are lucky enough to get a chance to work with Amy, grab it! She is a pleasure to work with, and quickly steered me in the right direction. The only way it could have been better is if I had found her a year earlier! Her communication is fantastic, she is reachable and makes herself available. She delivered everything ahead of schedule. Her insights have been invaluable. The best way to sum it up is that when I reviewed her details, I decided to pay 4 times what I had been planning to pay, and it was a very wise decision!"
"Amy is phenomenal. A true professional who goes above and beyond! Her insight, writing ability, experience, professionalism, creativity and feedback were invaluable for my project. I wish there were more than five stars because she deserves it. I'd definitely hire her again!"
"Hire Amy... that's all that needs to be said. Whatever copy materials that you are looking for, Amy will get it done at the highest caliber of quality. She is excellent with her communication, thorough research and she really knows how to nail exactly what you're looking for. My only advice is to provide her with as much detail as you possibly can and it'll produce the best results. I can tell that Amy prides herself on being the best in the business even if she would prefer to humble herself and say she's only ONE of the best. But no, She IS the best!”
"I couldn't be any happier with Amy's work on my project. She is an amazing writer. She followed my brand messaging guide to a "T" and she is extremely efficient with her time. She has excellent intuition and will find just the right words to communicate your message to your target audience."
