Evan and Lois Swensen believe authors change the world. Through their publishing work, radio programs, and lifelong devotion to stories, they have witnessed the quiet strength of ordinary writers and the sweeping influence of great ones. Their mission has been to call writers to rise to their higher purpose: to use words with moral conviction, to preserve what should not be lost, and to inspire hope where it is most needed. The Power of Authors is the culmination of decades spent urging writers to recognize the influence they already hold-and to use it for good.
