Our Philosophy

At The Swetky Agency, we believe in the integrity of that time-honored and hallowed tradition of author, agent, and publisher working together for the benefit of all.  Without the author and his very best work, fine literature withers and dies on the vine.  Without the publisher and his very best efforts, fine authors go unpublished.  Without the agent and his most persuasive talents, neither author nor publisher ever realizes how close they were to literary fruition.

Our goal as a literary agency is to act as sales agent, liaison, contact, negotiator, editorial consultant, legal adviser, and arbiter on behalf of all of our clients and to the benefit of the field of publishing overall.  Toward that end, our literary agents have had many decades of experience in all areas of publishing and literature.  All are selected on the basis not only of their knowledge and effectiveness as literary agents, but also for their integrity, moral ethics, and high professional standards of conduct. 

When we make a commitment to our author-clients, we expect that commitment to last for a lifetime, and we relate to our authors in exactly that manner, building not only a solid, viable working relationship, but also a lasting personal friendship.  The Swetky Agency is proud to be able to offer the publishing industry the finest literary clientele available.

And to those publishers who put their trust and faith in us each and every day, we make this solemn pledge:
