Biographical information[]

Chu was born in Boston in 1968 and moved frequently in her youth, spending her formative years in Iowa. In 1989, she received dual degrees at Wellesley, East Asian Studies, and MIT, Architectural Design. She was in Hong Kong from 1995 to 1997 running the Macau tourism office. Returning to the United States, she went to Harvard Business School for her MBA in 1999.

In 2010, Amy started Alpha Girl Comics when she and her friend, Georgia Lee, discussed the lack of female voices in comics. Chu took a course in creative writing and developed her interest in comics writing from there. She has continued to focus on the lack of representation of women in the comics industry speaking on panels at comic events.

Chu has been writing Red Sonja for Dynamite Entertainment since late 2016. She also started working on Dynamite's KISS in 2016. Chu took over writing duties for Dynamite's Green Hornet beginning with the 2018 run. Chu was recognized as a cultural leader of the year, for 2018, by the Corea Image Communications Institute and said she had plans to write a comic in Seoul.

In 2001 Chu married Laurence Chang, an investment analyst who is also a graduate of Harvard; they both kept their surnames. She has two children and resides in Princeton, New Jersey.[1]
