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. Barry
Jones has been an associate agent since the
agency's inception. He is an avid reader of
non-fiction with a particular interest in military
histories. Kris Rothstein, our Associate Agent, is also a writer and editor.
She is on the Editorial Board of Geist Magazine and
a contributor to Herizons, Canadian Children's Book News, CM and Broken Pencil. Kris has an interest in literary fiction,
history, narrative non-fiction and young adult fiction. She is the proprietor of Smart Cookie Publishing, a micro-press. CO-AGENTS: Film
