a few testimonials as a writing coach:
​
Mimi Seton’s online writing workshop has helped me to deal effectively with some long-standing issues so that I can write with ease and pleasure. I have an MFA in creative writing and a lot of experience with writing workshops; what Mimi does as a teacher/coach is original, creative, and transformative.

Each session with Mimi leaves me feeling joyful and energized. This is my first experience working with a real editor. Mimi has an outstanding ability to listen, discern, and bring full attention to the writing of another person. I feel I have received a gift of inestimable value to know that I am heard, understood, and that my work is being considered deeply. Creating The Distance Project books with her has provided structure and reason to develop a daily practice. I write out of pressing need to communicate, but sometimes struggle to to use language effectively. Mimi affirms the worth of the time and energy devoted to this effort. I am excited to learn about language in ways I previously never imagined. Mimi opens new vistas each time we meet. She provides me with tools and skills that enable me to thrive in these challenging times when our means of connecting with others has been so drastically compromised.

Mimi has edited several of my books over the years and I've always found her work to be of the highest standard. She comes from a family of writers and editors and it shows. She has a hawk eye for detail, can copy edit as well as edit, has a great sense of dramatic rhythm, a sense of humour -- and often reveals to me what I am saying before I fully recognise it myself. Moreover, she has supported my talent for decades, and because she has a sharp mind that I respect, this has helped build my confidence as an artist. I trust her artistry as an editor and colleague implicitly.
