H.N. Swanson was a well-known literary agent who notably represented F. Scott Fitzgerald and other esteemed American authors. Initially starting as a writer, Swanson found greater satisfaction and financial prosperity as an editor. After graduating from Grinnell College in 1922, he worked for a Chicago-based publication called College Humor during the 1920s. Swanson was a member of the Cliff Dwellers Club and a founding member of the Tavern Club in Chicago. Regrettably, no further details about his works or accomplishments are available.
An intriguing aspect of H.N. Swanson’s life is that he once composed a highly amusing parody of science fiction writing in a letter to his agent.
