Let’s Get Personal.

Hi - I'm Amy Hutchins and I’m a passionate and unapologetic, queer Gen-Xer from Texas—who loves female underdogs versus really bad guys. I am infatuated with themes of ultimate vengeance and confronting transgressive behaviors that often result in intensely dark and downer endings [sometimes flecked with bits of hope and humor.]

My Portfolio Brand.

I write features featuring bold female protagonists in extreme situations —where the light at the end of the tunnel usually includes climbing over a stack of dead bodies.

My Weird Resume.

I’ve held a variety of professional positions in advertising, gaming and entertainment industries—including writing. I went to an incredible film school a while back and have been playing dress-up in adjacent fields. LinkedIn can show you the way.

In recent years, I’ve been working on several screenplay projects and am actively seeking representation with someone who wants to collaborate and complement my style, intensity and dramatic vision.

I’m based in the Austin, TX area—but available to travel.

All works on this site are my own—or I have the express permission of any collaborations with original story creators or writing partnerships to post.
