CAROLYN SWAYZE is the president of Carolyn Swayze Literary Agency, where she represents authors of literary fiction and nonfiction for adults and children. She has been guiding the careers of some of Canada’s top literary talent since 1994. The Swayze Agency welcomes submissions from emerging and established authors of fiction for adults, new adults and children, as well as narrative non-fiction, memoir and biography. We’re looking for strong literary fiction, a small selection of commercial fiction (women’s, crime), young adult and middle grade fiction. Narrative non-fiction in the areas of history, science and natural history, politics, pop culture, lifestyle and food are of particular interest. We do not represent poetry, science fiction, fantasy,horror, screenplays, religious or self-help.
