As a book editor, Amir also has a proven track record. One of her clients' books (Enlightened Leadership) was self-published and then purchased and re-released verbatim by Simon & Schuster (Fireside); the book has sold over 230,000 to date. Another (Radical Forgiveness) won the 1998 Writer's Digest Self-Published Book Award (Inspirational category), received a contract from William Morrow but remained self-published and went on to sell over 115,000 copies; recently Radical Forgiveness was purchased by Sounds True. Her clients' proposals regularly get them contracts with agents as well.
A popular speaker and workshop leader at California Writer's Club branches, the San Francisco Writers Conference, and other West Coast writing events, Amir teaches workshops, teleseminars and classes on how to write and blog books and how to get published. She also speaks on topics related to writing, building platform, and realizing the dream of becoming a published author. She works with individual aspiring authors not only on their manuscripts but how to get their books and other products written most efficiently and on staying inspired as they maneuver their way through the sometimes long and arduous path to becoming published. She also helps them turn their passion and their soul purpose into printed products.
She serves on the board of her local chapter of the California Writer's Club (South Bay Writers), as well as being a mentor for its Publishing Pathways program. She is also a member of the Bay Area Independent Publisher's Association (BAIPA) and the San Francisco chapter of the Woman's National Book Association (WNBA).
Additionally, Amir speaks and writes about human potential, personal growth, self-improvement, and practical spirituality. Although she often does so from a Jewish perspective, her work spans religious lines and is pertinent to people of all faiths and spiritual traditions.In all she does, she focuses on helping people live their lives fully and manifest their desires -- whether those desires look like written products or something entirely different.
Amir sees herself as an "Everywoman" whose struggles and successes are not unlike anyone else's. Therefore, she writes, speaks and teaches from a place of knowing that what has worked for her will at least provide others with a starting place from which to find what works best for them.
Currently, Amir lives in the Santa Cruz Mountains in Northern California with her husband.
