The word is humanity’s heartbeat. Over the past two decades, Mihir has lived by this unyielding
belief, writing and editing content including, but not limited to poetry, press releases, book
reviews, op-ed articles, major league baseball game summaries, academic writing, and articles
from Paragon House Publishing spanning art history, cinema, religion (Christianity), and the
history of sports. and articles

As the head counselor and editor of HS2 Academy’s college counseling firm, Mihir takes
immense pride in developing the stories of several hundred high school and college students
annually into a raw and authentic package worthy of presentation to admissions committees
throughout the world. Having received a B.A. in Literature/Writing from the University of
California, San Diego, many stories he has edited have taken the form of poetry, while others have been creative nonfiction. Within the story, he has noticed how the author’s voice gets
stifled; it is his mission to ensure that this voice always shines through, whether that is by
clearing out clunky syntax, hunting for the most potent themes, or simply providing a pathway
for the author to be more vulnerable to the target audience.
Mihir strongly believes that every writer has a meaningful story to share. As both a
developmental and line editor, he strives to work closely with the author, to dive beneath the
surface and find unique angles and perspectives that will make the narrative stand out. With his
students having gone on to prestigious MBA programs, prominent medical schools, and well recognized undergraduate universities, Mihir insists that each story is about self-discovery.
To step onto the canvas of the author’s mind following manuscript completion is a privilege unlike any other; honoring this sincere effort with zeal, collective collaboration, and a relentless pursuit of delivering a meaningful product is my mission.
