Press Kit

A.C. Sutliff has written 8 books, 1 novella, and several short stories. She has been writing books since 2005, a few years before she graduated from college. (Though in truth, she's been writing since she was seven years old.) Fantasy has always been her passion, and recently, she started writing a new fantasy series called Circles of Ciridia, which follows after Fragments of Alchemy. These books are for the children in her own library, and they have a special place in her heart for that reason. The first book, The Wind Whisperer's Amulet, is currently in revision.

Biography

AC Sutliff balances dual worlds with remarkable grace—working as a dedicated librarian by day while crafting captivating young adult fiction by night. Her distinctive stories blend teen romance, sports drama, and fantasy elements that resonate with young readers seeking both escape and reflection. Drawing from her professional expertise in literature curation, AC weaves rich narratives that have earned her recognition in the YA community, including a finalist in the 2021 Wattys, winning the Ambys in 2023, and many other awards on Wattpad.

When she's not organizing library collections or penning her next novel, AC Sutliff embraces the beautiful chaos of motherhood with her energetic son, with another child soon joining their family adventures. Her unique perspective as both a literary professional and a parent infuses her writing with authentic emotional depth. Readers often discover traces of her own experiences in the subtle themes of belonging, self-discovery, and finding magic in everyday moments that characterize her work.

AC finds inspiration in the intersections of her worlds—sometimes plotting character arcs during children's story time or jotting dialogue ideas while reshelving books. Her engaging novels reflect the warmth, humor, and genuine heart she brings to everything she does. With an ever-growing collection of stories that thoughtfully navigate the complexities of young adulthood, AC continues to establish herself as a distinctive voice in contemporary YA literature.

Other Writing
Other Information

AC has three books in a teen romance and sports drama, called In My Head, which is currently in the works for a re-release. This series was inspired by a trip to the emergency room after suffering from a seizure. The books have a soft spot in her heart for that reason. Upon request, information on that book series revamp can be sent to you! The books began their rerelease in 2024. The second book in the re-release is due out in 2025, but may be delayed due to AC expecting a bundle of joy in April!

AC is also releasing Fragments of Alchemy right now. Books one and two have been out on Amazon for a while, but books three and four are ready to be released! Look for The Code Giver (Book 3 of Fragments of Alchemy) to release sometime this year. Contact me if you'd like to do an ARC of the book, or find me on Book Sprout!
