Sara Hussein

I have always been a writer, far before I ever chose it as my job. Growing up, I was a devastatingly quiet girl who was too shy to speak up, preferring to shrink myself in silence. But writing was my outlet. Putting pen to paper was how I discovered that I had a voice and I had something to say. I often tell people that writing is the only thing I know how to do, but perhaps the more accurate truth is that writing is the only thing that makes me feel like myself.

I have a BA in political science, with a focus on Middle Eastern and African studies, and a Master’s in journalism. I’ve been lucky enough to wear many different hats as a writer and to flex my muscles in different mediums and industries. It’s helped round me out and expand my capabilities and confidence. It’s also challenged me in the absolute best way, forcing me out of my comfort zone into a world of endless possibilities.

As a ghost writer, I have written memoirs, business books, speeches, web copy, media kits, and more. My clients are as diverse as their stories and experiences, ranging from high-level executives at Fortune 500 companies and prominent figures in the worlds of finance, fashion and business, to regular people who’ve been through incredible things. I am also finishing up my first novel, a tale about family, memory, trauma and forgiveness.
