As a writing coach, Dina works with aspiring novelists to improve their writing while offering support and guidance as they work toward their goals.

Self-publishing has come a long way since the days of vanity presses. No longer do aspiring authors have to warehouse books in their garages or let a rejection letter stop them from pursuing their writing dreams. As more and more self-published books find their way onto bestseller lists, many authors are choosing to publish their books on their own. A staunch supporter of indie publishing and self-publishing, Dina teaches classes on the changing publishing industry and helps aspiring authors understand the various paths available to them. She also teaches classes on editing and book marketing.

As executive editor of Salute and Family magazines, Dina has interviewed many celebrities, including James Gandolfini, Tim McGraw, Bryan Adams, Ashanti, JR Martinez, David Cook, Angela Bassett, Mario Lopez, Gary Sinise and Kevin Bacon, among others. She is responsible for all editorial, including generating copy and cover concepts, editing, proofreading and working with freelance writers.
