My Story

I'm Natasha Tynes, a Jordanian-American author, journalist, ghostwriter, and a book coach based in Washington, D.C.

With over two decades of experience in storytelling across platforms, I bring a unique blend of media savvy, cultural insight, and narrative expertise to everything I do.

As the founder of Suburban Media Group, a boutique digital media agency, I help clients—from startups to thought leaders—develop and execute strategic content that builds visibility and drives engagement. My background spans journalism, digital strategy, ghostwriting, and social media management, making me a trusted voice in the evolving media landscape.

My writing has been featured in top-tier outlets both in the United States and internationally. You can find my work in publications such as The Washington Post, Nature, Elle, Esquire Middle East, The Post, Al Jazeera, and more. As a media expert, I’ve also been invited to appear on prominent news shows including Larry King Live, PBS’s Foreign Exchange, The Paula Zahn Show, CBS Morning Show, Scarborough Country, and BBC’s Up All Night.

I’m also the host of the podcast Read and Write with Natasha, where I interview authors, publishers, and book marketers from around the globe. Together, we explore the craft of writing, the business of publishing, and the future of storytelling.

I’m the author of the speculative literary novel They Called Me Wyatt, and my short fiction has appeared in Geometry, The Timberline Review, The Markaz Review, and Fjords Review. You can browse some of my published work here.
