Adina Edelman – Editor

Hey, I'm Adina! I help authors of fiction and memoir figure out what they're trying to say and make sure that's showing up on the page.

I edit with a focus on message over mechanics. Proper grammar is important, but only if it serves your story. Honesty, respect, and collaboration are integral to my editing process. By the time the edit is done, you have a clean, engaging manuscript and a deeper understanding of your own writing.

I have worked on over 140 books in the past six years, both fiction and nonfiction at various levels of editing. Right now I specialize in memoir and the following fiction genres: mystery, historical, middle-grade, and sci-fi/fantasy. I do not take on projects with heavy Christian content or work that has explicit sexual content or abundant cursing.

I love forming strong connections with my authors and supporting them on their book journeys. If you're ready to unearth your gold, reach out for a sample edit!

"Adina did a phenomenal job not only catching the many grammatical mistakes but also pointing out where the story did not flow well or where the dialogue was not believable. I greatly appreciated that when she said some part of the story didn't work, she explained why and provided suggested changes. In addition to her technical and creative skills, what I might have appreciated most was her professionalism and cheery disposition."

—Phillip Wray, author of The Pontcourt Murders

"Adina is an absolute professional and was a pleasure to work with! Everything from the creative commentary of the content edit to the nitty gritty of the proofread was done with thoughtfulness and class... I will be looking forward to working with her again in the future."
