Zipporah (Zaza) Weisberg
EDITOR
WRITING COACH
"Zipporah Weisberg is by far the best editor I have ever worked with. And as a college professor and published author (two books and numerous articles), I know what makes for excellence in editing.
As a brilliant scholar herself, Zipporah was able to look at my book manuscript and to help me find the 'through line' of my argument, working closely with me to rethink my book's structure and organization.
I found that she also had an unerring ear for awkward phrasing and superfluous prose, helping me trim my work and sharpen my book's focus. My project owes its success to her interventions.
Zipporah was also a true pleasure to work with--invariably kind, encouraging, and prompt in meeting deadlines.
I cannot recommended her highly enough!"
John Sanbonmatsu, Associate Professor, Humanities and Arts, Worcester Polytechnic Institute
"When I was an international PhD student in the US. Zipporah helped me
me with my academic assignments for years. She not only proofread my papers for grammatical or syntactical errors, but also suggested invaluable stylistic alterations.
Overall, I appreciated Zipporah's suggestions on how to organize the structure of my papers and essays so that the arguments became tighter. I had tried a variety of native speakers to help with my academic writing, but my search for the best tutor ended with Zipporah.
Now I'm an independent scholar and I still constantly turn to Zipporah for her invaluable language advice.
I think that the main advantage of her
assistance is her own rigorous academic background: she is familiar with the conventions and format required for papers in the humanities.
Zipporah's background in philosophy also benefits my research in my area of art history. She provides valuable advice on how I might expand my scope of a particular analysis.
Needless to say, that aside from her professional excellence in
academic tutoring, proofreading, and editing, Zipporah is a kind, generous, and attentive person."
Dinara Garifullina, Independent Scholar
"I have worked with a lot of editors and proofreaders and Zipporah is the best. She has a keen proofreading eye, and her ability to provide thoughtful substantive analysis is unmatched."
Robert C. Jones, Associate Professor, Philosophy, California State University, Dominguez Hills
"Zipporah has the rare talent of seeing the big picture while at the same time being attentive to every little detail.
Her editing helped clarify ideas, solidify the structure, and, of course, provided close text editing.
She asked about intended audience, ideas, terminology, and pointed out possible meanings when there were more than one.
I am incredibly grateful for her diligent and superb work, and will hire her again."
Dorit Namaan, Professor, Dept. of Film and Media, Queen's University (Kingston, Canada)
"Finding Zaza was like finding a hidden gem. Her attention to detail, interdisciplinary knowledge, and respectful and diligent approach not only helped me improve my writing skills, but also boosted my confidence as a writer. I learned a lot about my own writing style while working with her. Working with her has been an enlightening experience. I am convinced that I will continue to work with Zaza for a long time, and I highly recommend her services to anyone looking to improve their writing."
André Sales, Research Visitor, City University of New York
"Everybody needs a copy editor, but in Zipporah I really found the best one. She edited my last book and a number of papers and helped me not only with language and style but also with the general construction of the argument, since she has a hawk eye for inconsistencies and contradictions. I could not recommend her enough."
Carlo Salzani, Visiting Researcher, University of Innsbruck
