Ein zweites Sammelwerk, HOW THE WORLD BECAME QUIET: MYTHS OF THE PAST, PRESENT, AND FUTURE, wird von Subterranean Press veröffentlicht. Swirskys Schreiben wurde für seine Tiefe, Emotion und Vorstellungskraft gelobt, und sie hat zweimal den Nebula Award für ihre Arbeit gewonnen, einschließlich für ihre 2010 Novelle, „The Lady Who Plucked Red Flowers Beneath the Queen’s Window“ und ihre 2014 Kurzgeschichte, „If You Were a Dinosaur, My Love.“
