About this episode

Amy Suto discusses how freelance writers can thrive in an AI-driven landscape by focusing on storytelling and niche markets.

Amy Suto has built a seven-figure freelance writing career in an era when most writers are watching AI erode their client base. Her secret? Memoir ghostwriting — a niche so deeply human, so dependent on trust and storytelling craft, that no language model can touch it. In this episode, Preston sits down with Amy to explore what separates the freelancers who are thriving right now from those who are struggling, why the shift from "typist" to "storyteller" is the most important repositioning a writer can make, and how to think about AI as a powerful assistant rather than a career-ending threat. Whether you're a writer, designer, or marketer, this conversation is a blueprint for staying irreplaceable.
