About
Carolyn Swayze I
established the agency in 1994, when W. P. Kinsella
persuaded me to leave my law practice and to sign
him as my first client.
My
background included a previous life as a freelance
writer, (humour, business, literary fiction), a
novelist (a genre mystery published in 1977 in the
US and a literary novel, publication of which was
aborted when the Canadian publisher declared
bankruptcy in 1984), and a rather scholarly
biography, published in 1987. Since
1994 the agency has had the pleasure of assisting
emerging and established authors realize their
publication dreams. Their ages have ranged from 22
to 84 years. The
books we have guided to publication include
literary and commercial fiction, creative
non-fiction, Canadian history, memoirs, humour and
cookbooks, as well as a few books for younger
readers. See
our submissions
page for information on what we like to see from
prospective authors. About D.
