Mike Zimmerman has always been a writer. You may not have heard of him, but his fiction and nonfiction have spanned all genres, been published to readerships in the millions for decades, won awards, and changed lives.

He’s written epic fantasies and 400-page fitness books, COVID cover stories and espionage novels for girls, dozens of A-list profiles and even one well-received diet book.

Different formats, different audiences, different voices. Through it all, the game is always the same: Can you imagine the story? And can you tell it?

“Give Mike a hair-brained idea and he’ll transform it into a well-reported, clean, and clever story. That’s a rare talent. When I need the best words, quick, I call him.”

—Bill Phillips, former editor-in-chief of Men’s Health

“I’ve worked with Mike for years. The man can write. He can edit. He has great ideas. He’s a workhorse and doesn’t disappoint.”

—Jeff Csatari, executive editor, Galvanized Media and Eat This, Not That! magazine

“Mike Zimmerman is one of the most dedicated and gifted writers I’ve had the pleasure of working with. His fiction is dark and hilarious; his interviews are probing and empathetic; and his first-person journalism is illuminating and insightful. And for all that, he still edits with a light touch, strengthening the author’s message without sacrificing the author’s voice.”

—Lou Schuler, editorial director at The Personal Trainer Development Center and author of the New Rules of Lifting series
