NADIA NELL STARBINSKI: AUTHOR, POET, STORYTELLER
Nadia N. Starbinski is an author based in the Greater New York area. Born and raised in Northern New Jersey, she grew up captivated by the vibrant energy of nearby New York City. This magnetic pull led her to pursue her college education there—a decision that sparked a deep passion for the spoken word community and became a defining chapter in her artistic journey.
Starbinski's love for writing began early. As a child, she poured her thoughts, dreams, and emotions into countless journals. This passion for self-expression evolved as she began sharing her work online, gaining a loyal following on Tumblr, a popular blogging platform at the time.
Her connection with the city’s thriving poetry scene opened new doors, which allowed her to begin sharing her popular online work. Immersed in the art of performance, Starbinski brought her words to life on stage. What began as an online venture grew into live performances that resonated deeply with audiences. Her talent earned her the honor of headlining multiple shows as a resident poet.
In the fall of 2017, Starbinski released her debut poetry collection, Excerpts from the Book I’ll Never Write. The collection, filled with raw, evocative pieces, was met with widespread enthusiasm, cementing her place as a rising voice in contemporary poetry. Inspired by the success of her debut, she published her second collection, Rip Tides, the following summer. This poignant sequel further solidified her connection with readers.
Starbinski is now preparing for the release of her first autobiographical novel, set to debut in 2027. This upcoming work promises an intimate exploration of self-discovery, growth, and the transformative power of embracing one's past.
Beyond her literary pursuits, Starbinski channels her creativity into producing content for various digital platforms. She also treasures moments of relaxation, whether enjoying a cocktail at her family’s beach house or traveling with friends.
Today, Starbinski resides in Jersey City with her husband, Ryan, and their two rescue dogs. Surrounded by love and support, she continues to write with the aim of touching hearts, inspiring minds, and leaving a lasting impact on the literary world.
