Fiction, theater, television, film, and opera are a few of the arenas Sutherland calls home as a writer. He daylights as a TV script coordinator and freelance editor. In writers’ rooms, he served on House of Cards (Netflix), American Rust (Amazon), and the upcoming fantasy series Rise of the Empress (Amazon). He was an editor and baseball consultant on a feature biopic about Roberto Clemente. As an intern and assistant in Los Angeles, he worked at Cross Creek Pictures (Black Swan) and also under Hollywood producer Michael Shamberg (Pulp Fiction). While living in the Bay Area, he worked at Whiskytree, a visual effects company that contracts for Star Wars and Marvel. He is currently shopping his first collection of short stories, Sylvan Caravan, which feasts upon the splendors, tragedies, histories, and oddities of the Rust Belt backcountry. One of the pieces in his "Sawmill Stories" trilogy, inspired by the eight summers he worked in a lumber mill, was published by Bridge & Tunnel Books. He won the fiction award at Duke University (Anne Flexner Prize) two years in a row before graduating in 2016. Represented by Allen Vainshtein.
