Penguin Random House Author | Fiction Writing Coach & Editor

Hi! I'm Swati, a romance and YA author represented by Rachel Beck at Liza Dawson Associates, a New York-based literary agency. My debut novel Match Me If You Can released in June 2024 from Dell, an imprint of Penguin Random House USA, followed by Can't Help Faking in Love (Feb 2025), with As Long As You Loathe Me (YA romance, March 2026) and Love Beyond Reasonable Doubt (May 2026) to come.

As an experienced fiction writing coach, certified mindset coach, and NLP practitioner, I help authors plot, write, and edit their novels while building a rejection-proof mindset, so they can sign with the right literary agent, or self-publish with pride.

I have over 6 years of experience supporting authors and indie publishers in bringing out excellent and entertaining fiction.

I am trained in the following coaching modalities by Yes Supply Inc., a Canadian coaching school.
- Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP)
- Life & Success Coaching
- Hypnosis
- Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT)
- TIME (Time Integration for Maximum Empowerment) Techniques

I can't wait to help authors thrive in their dream life!
