Testimonials

“Anna worked with us on wall texts and a catalogue for a large-scale museum exhibition. As a text editor, she is exceptional — prompt, patient, available — and her corrections are graceful and precise. She helped retain the voices of multiple contributors while still creating a cohesive whole. Even more valuable are her skills as an advisor and project consigliere; she is a full partner in people and project management, with a great ability to communicate clearly and streamline gridlock (with kindness and humor, to boot). She immerses herself in project content, bringing her sensitivity and intellect to bear on concepts, structure, and process as well as language. We are thrilled with the results.”

— Sara Softness, Curator of Special Projects, Museum of Jewish Heritage — A Living Memorial to the Holocaust

“Our project required Anna to edit several different authors’ texts related to equity, diversity, and inclusion. Not only did she tackle some thorny issues with sensitivity, Anna’s suggestions came with thoughtful explanations that were so spot on, we adopted every one of her recommendations. Anna’s attention to detail also led her to research and hyperlink several key arguments in the project, greatly strengthening our material. Overall, Anna’s contribution was invaluable.”

— Zinta Williams, National Sales Manager, Cambridge Learning for Schools, Cambridge University Press and Assessment

“Anna jumped in on this rush project, and we really appreciated the depth of information that her edit surfaced. Our organization’s strategic plan is stronger because of Anna's attentiveness and care.”

— Ayana Morse, Executive Director, SVARA: A Traditionally Radical Yeshiva

“Anna's careful eye truly enlivened my project into the best possible version of itself. It is an all-too-rare thing to get such rigorous attention to detail on one's writing, especially with a queer/trans-competent eye. I hope to work with Anna again and I recommend her highly.”

— Harper B. Keenan, Professor of Gender & Sexuality in Education, University of British Columbia

“I needed a dozen songs translated from Yiddish, with a quick turnaround, for subtitles of a video concert. Anna had the light touch we wanted, faithful to the text and spirit of the original, and her translations were lovely. She also worked within the video files to add the subtitles. She is a pleasure to work with.”

— Zalmen Mlotek, Artistic Director, National Yiddish Theatre Folksbiene

“We first hired Anna to edit our marketing materials. She was thorough, easy to work with, and had high standards. She condensed a lot of material into a snazzy brochure, so we hired her again to put together a teacher’s manual, which was a much more involved project. We worked together to determine the book’s format and organization, then Anna helped me find words and examples to articulate ideas I hadn’t put into writing before. I highly recommend her services.”

— Elisheva Kirschenbaum, Founder & Director, Osher Society

We love the feeling and cohesion Anna gave to our text.”

— Keren Hazan, Director of Marketing, Anderson International Foods, Inc.

“Anna’s editing support was invaluable in putting my novel together! Her collaborative style made the opaque and intimidating process of finishing a book more manageable than I expected. Her suggestions—on language and grammar, how to better develop characters, how to insert more humor, etc.—made the final product a whole lot better. In addition, Anna explained her edits in a way that helped me grow as a writer, with lessons I will take with me into future writing projects. Five stars out of five.”

— Rachel Sharona Lewis, author, The Rabbi Who Prayed with Fire

Anna is a deep and keen listener, tuning into the details and asking for detailed clarifications. She was professional and respectful while also emotionally responsive. She is intuitive and it was easy to connect. Working with Anna with Anna on the capstone project for my post-graduate training program was lifesaving. I felt so genuinely helped.

— Debra, LICSW

I got exactly what I needed, which was polished writing and frank, un-sugarcoated feedback. I really appreciated the level of detail in Anna’s comments! It was helpful to hear her impressions about what was good in my work, and to get her advice about directions to push my application essays. I felt relieved having them in Anna’s hands.”
