My name is Mimi Amsel, and I am based in New York, although I work with people all over the U.S.
I fell in love with both editing and writing when I was in high school. I’m a perfectionist and love finding and fixing all the mistakes that have fallen through the cracks. I also love writing novels and short stories about issues that young adults face, so that they are comforted in knowing they are not alone.
I have a BA in Writing from Empire State College and I have worked with fiction writers for the past five years to create beautiful, polished pieces of work. You can see some of those pieces that I have edited below.
Mimi did an incredible job on my book. By the time she was done with it, I loved it so much more than before (which I didn’t think was possible). She was able to improve my book so much without compromising my voice. If you hire Mimi, I guarantee you will not be disappointed!
I loved working with Mimi! Not only did she do an AMAZING job with my book, but she also made working together really easy. She listened to what I wanted for my book, but also pointed out where I could do better in the nicest way. I am so excited to continue working with her on my next books!
I’ve worked with other editors for my previous novels and Mimi is by far the best editor I have worked with. My work tends to need heavy editing, but Mimi was so patient throughout the process and exceeded my expectations in the quality of her work. I am so glad I finally found an editor that I am happy to work with!
