Salwa Emerson is an award-winning writer, collaborator, and speaker known for her keen insight, wit, and evocative prose.

Her latest collaboration, The Conservative Environmentalist, by Benji Backer (Penguin) was featured in The New York Times and on ABC’s The View, and received a front-cover endorsement from Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Salwa works closely with public figures, cultural leaders, and people with extraordinary life stories—from Oscar-winning actors to policymakers and tech founders to regular people—helping them develop powerful books and position their work for publication.

She specializes in memoir, thought leadership, and book proposals.

Salwa is currently at work on two memoirs of her own. Her essays have also appeared in several literary journals.
