Let’s Unearth the Gold in Your Story

Welcome to the Gold Mine

If you’ve written a memoir or novel, you’re in the right place. This is where we unearth your gold so readers can bask in the glow.

You’ve likely worked on your book for years. You’ve revised it over and over, but you can no longer see what it actually needs. Does the structure work? How’s the pacing? Will it speak to readers?

This is where I come in. Message-driven editing to make sure the story you love is showing up on the page in the best way possible.

Ive edited over 140 books, published one of my own, and worked with dozens of authors. If youve got gold to share, I can help you mine it.

Want to make sure we’re a good fit?
Try a sample edit. You can see my process on your work. No more chipping away in the dark.

I’m Adina Edelman, a book editor based in Baltimore, MD. I help authors of memoir and fiction mine their message for gold.


After working on over 140 books with both publishers and
self-publishing authors, here’s something I’ve learned: 
Commas are important. Your story and message are more important.

Hear it from the authors:

‘‘Adina was terrific to work with. The things she taught me were invaluable, and she is far more than just an editor...She mentored, challenged, and helped me grow as an author.’’

—Jason France, author of Five Million Steps
