A newsletter about my publishing journey—and some writing tips along the way.

Hi! I’m Swati. I’m a freelance book editor, certified life coach, and the author of Match Me If You Can (June 2024), Can’t Help Faking in Love (February 2025), As Long as You Loathe Me (Spring 2026), and more to come, all with Penguin Random House.

Look, my journey in publishing has been… chaotic, to say the least. I mean, 5 years querying 6 books until I signed with my agent and got multiple book deals??? It’s a shocker I never gave up.

And now, I want to share snippets of that journey, and what’s to come in the future, with you. If you want to hear me talk about all things publishing, writing, and maybe (definitely) Taylor Swift, hit the button below and get all future newsletters directly into your inbox.

Love hard & dream big 💛
