SORRY, I THOUGHT I LOVED YOU

Since acquiring representation from The Swetky Literary Agency, I've found Faye to be immensely helpful in all aspects of my work.  She's not only a true professional, but she's kind, compassionate, and interested in seeing me succeed as a writer and as a human being.  Faye has shown me time and again that I matter to her and her agency.  I couldn't ask for a better agent, and would never consider allowing anyone else to represent me. - Michielle D.J. Beck

NUMEROUS PROJECTS

Of all the agents I have known over the years, no one is more professional or works harder than Faye Swetky.  She is one of a kind, a vanishing breed, a life jacket in what remains an often  perilous and daunting sea.  I can't thank her enough. - Don Bacue / Executive Editor, International Features Syndicate

THE RUINS OF TIKAL

I am a contracted writer with Faye Swetky.  She is an efficient professional with dogged determination.  More than that, she loves success, not for the money but to see writers whom she believes in get their works into print.  I feel extremely lucky to have her representing me.  To Faye: I can only say "thank you" a zillion times over.  Your faith in me keeps me buoyant.  I am so grateful for all the hard work you have done on my behalf. - Dan Calderwood

SIXTY, SEX, AND TANGO

Working with you is such a pleasure.  You have taken so much of your time to show me the ropes and explain things to me as we pass through life on this, my latest journey.  I wish you only the best always, and I'm grateful to be able to call you not only my agent but my friend. - Joan Moran

THEY CALL ME DOC: THE STORY BEHIND THE LEGEND OF JOHN HENRY HOLLIDAY

I have been "blessed" with six agents in my life.  Two were great, three were less than great, and the sixth was the best.  I owe my success as a freelance writer to Faye Swetky and the job she has done in building up The Swetky Literary Agency and my own literary career.  She is simply the best. - D. J. Herda
