“Mira is a gift that keeps on giving.” 😊

Kelly Rote, Communications Specialist at Visit Central Florida

“I found Mira to be a true professional to work with as well as a participant on our press trip to Basque Country.  She always responded quickly to emails and paperwork. She produced a great deal of wonderful content right after she returned. A year later, she started working for a new outlet and produced another four stories.  I highly recommend her.”

“Mira Temkin’s thorough research and creativity shines through on her writing assignments. She always keeps in contact with me when working on a story. Not only has she never missed a deadline, she usually turns in her stories well before the deadline.”

David Hoekman, Managing Editor, Group Tour Magazine 

“Mira Temkin was asked to contribute to New York Lifestyles Magazine while I was Executive Editor. I’ve known Mira as an excellent travel writer and have considered her a close colleague for a number of years. I’ve seen her on Fam trips with other writers and have observed her totally professional demeanor. As a result of these interactions I had no compunction in asking her to be a regular contributor to NYLM. She made it her business to learn and determine precisely what type of material was needed for the publication and she produced excellent copy every time. Her stories were compelling and her ability to draw pictures with words brought her destinations to life. She did with ease what so many other writers have attempted and only some have achieved. The fact that she was a regular contributor speaks for itself. No article she ever proposed was turned down nor did it require little more than cursory editing. I would recommend her without hesitation.”

Bob Nesoff, Former Executive Editor,  New York Lifestyles Magazine

‘THANK YOU so much Mira, these are so so great. Appreciate you turning these around so quickly and they are so wonderfully in-depth.”

Gabriel Gaines, Berk Communications, PR for Go Israel”

“These articles are fantastic! Thank you. It was such a pleasure traveling with you!”

Jill Daly, Director, Midwest Region, Israel Ministry of Tourism

“Mira was an absolute pleasure to have on a press trip to Maine. She was the consummate professional, stayed engaged and was truly interested in everything we did. We were more than pleased with the results Mira produced from her visit. Maine benefited from several articles in both consumer and trade publications. We would not hesitate in having Mira back!”

Charlene Williams, President, Marshall Communications

“Mira is an enthusiastic, clear and concise writer. She has contributed high-quality posts to TheVacationGals.com as a guest contributor and more recently she kindly offered to be a case study for my book Break into Travel Writing. Mira offered wonderful insight on the benefits and challenges of being a travel writer. I’m grateful for her creative input and know she will inspire readers. I look forward to partnering with Mira again in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a professional writer.”

Beth Blair, Author of Breaking Into Travel Writing 

“What an amazing selection of articles you’ve written about us! I think you were really able to capture the sense of relaxation and connection to the natural world that we are constantly striving for during these trips in your work. At the same time I think you give a really thorough background to someone who is totally unfamiliar with the tradition of windjamming.”

“Oh my gosh, Mira…this article is incredible!  Thank you so much for telling such a great story about Columbus and can’t believe how quickly you turned this around.”

Mira Temkin – Theatre

I am so insanely jealous of Mira and let me tell you why. She gets paid to attend some of the best shows in a city known for its world-class theatre. She doesn’t tell you what your opinion of the show should be, but through her well-crafted reviews, encourages you to see for yourself and make up your own mind. Why can’t I have a job like that? Why do I have to be the editor?
