Adrian Botez is editor-in-chief at Polirom Publishing House and coordinates the Romanian fiction collections from Iași. He has had what one may call an organic growth. He started as a proofreader, continued as a copy editor, then as an deputy editor-in-chief, and now he holds the rails of the editorial team, by following the road of a book from manuscript to its launch. Actually, sometimes even from the idea, as in 2019 he initiated the collection „Fictional biographies” and has been growing it since, nourishing it and promoting it with a rare sense of devotion. He talks with the same passion about Romanian fiction at the Romanian and international book fairs, where Adrian Botez searches for editors to enamour with the Romanian authors’ books.
