about
EMILY H. SUTHERLAND
ghostwriter | executive storyteller | coach
I spent the first two decades of my writing career in the music industry, where I was mentored by world-class artists and storytellers. During those years I gained a wealth of experience in mass communication while participating in the production, marketing, and scripting of award-winning television productions and feature-length videos. I learned to tell stories using all kinds of tools, including print magazines, books, photojournalism, video production, audio and on-camera interviews, podcasts, online content creation, and email marketing.
In 2017, I launched a second career as a ghostwriter, executive storyteller, and writing coach. Since that time, I’ve had the joy of helping people turn their stories and ideas into books, documentaries, screenplays, podcasts, courses, and leadership resources.
I’ve collaborated with high-profile clients, first-time authors, thought leaders, executives, and survivors to ghostwrite or co-author their books. I’ve helped both start-ups and well-established companies solidify their brand stories and content to attract their ideal clients. And I’ve had the privilege of helping people turn their ideas into books, videos, websites, and even songs. I’ve also created virtual and in-person storytelling events where connections were formed, stories nurtured, and aspiring authors’ dreams realized.
Storytelling is at the heart of everything I do, and I’m constantly exploring new ways to craft great stories that connect with people.
