Where Experts Become Award-Winning Authors
Our very first year of publishing—2024—has already brought recognition from leading international awards, including the International Book Awards and the Independent Publisher Book Awards (IPPY).
Our recent honorees include Kerry Harnish and Kumar Murty, both IPPY medalists, and Eldon Sprickerhoff, an International Book Awards finalist.
We are committed to editorial excellence and to championing our authors’ work—both in the marketplace and on the global stage.
Enlightening readers, Empowering experts
We’re turning the page on book publishing. We offer a new and better deal to authors who are experts — those who’ve dedicated decades to a field or focus, always on a relentless quest for improving our world, deeply respected by peers, and whose insights and life experience AI software cannot possibly imagine.
We are a new co-publishing imprint reserved for proven experts willing to share publishing costs in a manner that is entrepreneurial and commercially sensible. Too many expert-authored stories today go untold. Big Tech algorithms decide what books sell and which authors we’re supposed to read. Big Tech is making money off the backs of creators and publishers.
We are on a mission to change that.

Our Approach
& Values
Amplify your story for the communities you care about most, and for a general audience of book lovers.
At Sutherland House Experts, we embrace a co-publishing model where both the author and publisher invest in joint commercial success. Authors receive a generous profit share, much higher than royalties offered by traditional book publishers. If we hit certain milestones together, an author’s co-investment goes down. We seek expert writers who are entrepreneurial, who inspire others, and who love books.
With time, we seek to re-invest a portion of our profits to support expert authors who need financial assistance to work with us. We aim to secure sponsorships for our expert authors whose stories align with our mission but may not fit the criteria of large publishers or academic presses. By partnering with generous sponsors, we can provide an even greater platform for these important voices to be heard.
At Sutherland House Experts, we believe in the power of books,
and want to amplify the voices of true experts.
Meet the Core Team
We are people who like to surround ourselves with passionate, curious and creative minds.
We believe that life stories and insights crafted by entrepreneurially-minded experts can spark innovation, self-reflection and debate.
