Who am I?
Hi, folks! Let’s play third-person POV for a bit, shall we?
​
Adina is an editor based in Baltimore, MD. She works with indie authors and publishing companies, digging deep to unearth the gold in their books. Adina has worked on over 140 books, and she’s edited for Mosaica Press, Israel Bookshop, Menucha Publishers, and more.
A former fiction and poetry editor for the Baltimore Review, she has experience with a variety of genres and writing styles. She majored in English and Creative Writing at Southern New Hampshire University and graduated summa cum laude.​

All right, fancy bit’s over.
​
When I edit, I focus on message over mechanics; the commas should work for you, not against you. Honesty, respect, and collaboration are integral to my editing process. By the time the edit is done, my authors have a clean manuscript, clear next steps, and a deeper understanding of their own writing.

Like most good editors, I’m also a writer: I have published work in Mizmor Poetry Anthology, Bridge Literary Journal, Haunted Waters Press, Sky Island Journal, and Cumberland River Review.
My novel, Breaking Open, is available at Israel Bookshop Publications and Amazon.
Here’s a live Reedsy Webinar I did about writing engaging dialogue. Check it out!
