I have always had a love for books and their ability to transport us to other worlds. I started writing twenty years ago and haven’t stopped since. I received an A.A. in Liberal Arts with a focus on English and have been a freelance editor for over a decade, a contributor for "Chicken Soup For The Soul", and have been a finalist in both Final Draft's Big Break Contest and Bluecat Screenplay Competition." 

As an editor, I hold myself to a high standard of excellence when it comes to my work. You can expect prompt, detailed communication and honesty that is encouraging. By working closely with the author and supporting them through the editing process, my hope is to make the manuscript stronger and the author more confident in their abilities. 

Let me help you turn your vision into a reality. Send me a message under the Contact page to get started! 



A.J. Swift

Senior Editor

My writing career began in college when I signed on to be a reporter for the university newspaper. I loved expressing myself through the written word so much that I changed my major from nursing to Mass Media: Communication, earning a B.A.  

I am the author of Healing From Heaven and Single & Sublime and am currently working on another manuscript and devotional, both of which will be released in 2024. For decades, I've published a ministry newsletter and have been an active blogger. I am a regular contributor for "We Connect Magazine" and have also been a contributor for "Chicken Soup For The Soul", "France Magazine", "Life Network For Women" and "Connecting Point Magazine." Several of my articles are featured in the book, Mountain Movers: Chronicles of the Seven Mountain Warriors.

As Acquisitions Editor for Swift Publishing, it is my goal to discover writers who have a clear vision and a completed manuscript and help turn them into published authors.
