more »Miriam "Mimi" Jacobs is an author, poet, and professional speaker. Prior to this, Mimi was employed with the U.S. Postal Service where she served for twenty-one years.
Miriam showed an early aptitude and love for creating, tinkering, and writing. She was first published while still in high school in the school's publication, "Jabberwocky".
Today, Mimi is making a tumultuous presence both in print and online. But more importantly, her readers and fans love her, and her work. Much is to be appreciated; Jacobs is a master of several literacy genres and the author of seven books including, Illuminations: Poetic Inspiration, Embracing Candace, My Name is Not Monkey Girl, and 25 Ways to make $125.00 or More After Dinner. She is also penned How to Jump From a Ferris Wheel & Land on Your Feet, the first of a ten volume series. The book is a multi-author anthology with a theme of, "From tragedy, to triumph."
In March, 2007, Mimi launched her highly-acclaimed publishing company on a shoestring budget, and in a make-shift small office in her living room. The name was contrived as a tribute to her two granddaughters, Candace and Alyse. Her enthusiasm has helped her shape her branding and build a dynamic team around her including an editor, proofreader, illustrator, and full-time publicist. In just one month, Candalyse Publishing more than quintupled in size, and tripled its revenue.
Mimi is a life-time New Yorker and has the accent to prove it. She currently resides in the beautiful Catskills region with her husband, Charles, her granddaughter, Candace, and their pets.
"When we embrace each other as fellow human beings, we
are living with unconditional love, with unconditional
kindness and with compassion. As we raise
our children, we must instill in them these
basic human qualities. Love makes the world a
much better place to live.
Today I love myself as I love my fellow human beings."
~Miriam L. Jacobs
