Marc Swift

Marc Swift, also known as The Beekeeper Writer, is a British author and beekeeper living in the mountains of central Portugal. After many years working in construction and business, he chose a simpler, creative life centred on storytelling, nature, truth and family.

He is the creator of Leila’s Light, a children’s book series that blends imagination, humour and moral curiosity with a deep respect for the natural world. Alongside writing, Marc runs Mel da Terra, a sustainable honey brand inspired by the bees and the land he cares for.

Through The Beekeeper Writer, Marc connects creativity, ecology, truth and education, showing that art, imagination and nature can thrive together. His mission is to inspire young storytellers and remind readers of all ages that kindness, awareness and curiosity still matter.
