Academic Editing

  • From Monika:

    Adina edited my book for submission to a prestigious university press [published in 2023], and she also helped me with language editing, since I am not a native speaker. I appreciated her careful reading of language and content; she sometimes reminded me two chapters later of inconsistencies with a prior argument.

    “Highly recommend.”

  • From Noa:

    Adina edited the English edition of my book for publication [published in 2024]. She received an English manuscript, and since she is both a thorough reader and fluent in Hebrew, she noticed errors in the translation and helped me correct them. Adina is very professional, well-organized, systematic, and accessible. Her comments and insights regarding style and content were very helpful.

    “Working with Adina was a pleasure.”

  • From Susan:

    My advisor LOVED the manuscript. Thank you again; you helped so much, and I could not have done it without you. I feel more than prepared for my defense thanks to you, and I will be using your editorial skills again.

    “You moved me along the process systematically.”

  • From Lisa:

    Adina's editing services were instrumental in the final stages of finishing my dissertation. Over the course of a year, Adina edited my entire dissertation from Introduction to Conclusion. She made grammar edits and advised me on structure while giving me the space to speak as the expert on my topic and present my research.

    “I wouldn't have been able to finish my dissertation without Adina!”

  • From Gary:

    Adina was always reliable, approachable, and punctual, and she worked patiently with me on my master's thesis. Not only was her knowledge of the subject matter excellent, she was able to explain editing concepts in a way that I could easily grasp.

    “I would enthusiastically recommend Adina."

Popular Editing

From Randy:

Working with Adina has been pretty much a dream come true. I’ve hired her seven times to edit short books I’ve written on science, political, and legal communication. She edits not just for style but content as well, which is priceless. She is super-professional, on time, every bit as good if not better than the editors I’ve worked with at the major presses. The bottom line is that the next book I write (there will be a next book, I’m sure) I’ll be coming right back to Adina for editing.

“She’s the best I’ve ever worked with, out of quite a few editors.”

From Maggi:

Dr. Yoffie is one of the top editors I've worked with. She helped me cut medical and coaching jargon from my book about good doctors. She responds quickly and combines her skills as an editor and writing expert with compassion for her clients.
