What is Amy Schneider doing after Jeopardy!?

Since winning $1,382,800 from her 40-episode Jeopardy! streak, Amy Schneider has written a book and gotten married.

Amy also took a temporary leave from her engineering career and has signed a deal with Creative Arts Agency.

Regarding her hiatus from engineering, the game show winner told her Twitter followers: "I thought I was going to be more excited to get back to my day job than it turns out I have been.

"But I am going to be taking a leave of absence from that to kinda focus on this stuff and try to sort it all out and primarily...trying to put together a book proposal to see if that gets interest.

"That just really needs my focus. I am having a lot of meetings with my agents, which is such a weird thing to hear myself say, but it’s true."

On October 3, 2023, she released her first memoir; In the Form of a Question.

While discussing her memoir's content, Amy explained to the : "I love trivia, but it’s not the thing I’m most interested in or passionate about.

"It’s just the thing I got famous for. That being said...When I was pitching this book, I said my goal was hopefully in, like, five years, I can describe myself as a writer and not feel embarrassed about it, and that could really be what I do.

"I found it very rewarding, and despite the fact I can see all the flaws in my book and things I’m disappointed with, I’m proud of it and I feel like I showed I do have some skill and things to say."
