Testimonials

• Sandra is an accomplished editor and writer who works well with authors. She is solutions-oriented, has a quick mind, and can keep a project on track no matter how many moving parts it has. Every piece of writing Sandra touches is the better for it.

  Andrea Pedolsky, Former Head of Publications, International Food Policy Research Institute – Washington, DC

• Sandra Yin's editing has played an important role in my efforts to convert the results of statistically complex demographic research into a form that a broad audience can comprehend. The latest example of her editorial handiwork can be seen in a web essay on demography's role in development, which we first published on the New Security Beat website. It was later picked up and republished by the World Economic Forum (https://bit.ly/2Gpl69I) which spread its message to a global audience.

• Sandra has been an incredible asset to our team at the Maternal Health Initiative. She is extremely talented and patient when working with new and seasoned writers alike. Sandra has helped us write smart and concise articles, blog posts, and reports; and working with her is a pleasure. She is a fabulous communicator, always reliable, and a natural teacher. Sandra also has a breadth and depth of topical knowledge, which only adds to her value.

  Sarah Barnes, Project Director, The Wilson Center’s Maternal Health Initiative

• Sandra provided the whole package that I was looking for: clear, concise writing; the ability to translate technical issues into everyday language; attention to detail; and sharp researching skills. On top of all of that, she was able to do this across issue areas, from health to energy to gender equality.

  I highly recommend Sandra as a writer and strategic communicator!

  Jenni Lee, Senior Director of Communications, UN Foundation – Washington, DC

• What an excellent job you’ve done! I can imagine professional ghostwriters and editors always face the dilemma of not changing too much while editing. In this case, where the original text was sometimes vague and even problematic, I can tell you’ve taken bolder moves by providing heavy edits while still retaining the original message and tone. I much appreciate what you’ve done because I knew we needed “more” help in focusing our message. The report now reads great and that’s all thanks to your tremendous effort. Thank you so much, Sandra.

  Jichong Wu, China Country Manager, Clean Cooking Alliance – Washington, DC

• We really appreciate what Sandra brings us – a top notch writer, researcher and editor. A great listener who strives to deliver exactly what you need.

  Sandra has an extraordinary capacity to create quality product just when you most need it. A complete 360 professional in every way, a superb communicator and an all-around very pleasant person to do business with. She should be on your auto call list.

• Sandra, you had the skill and patience to take my client’s edits to her compelling
  personal story and find a way to make her words sing. Thank you!

  I couldn’t get that done. Trust me, I tried.

  Thank you for being super easy to work with and for the ultra fast turnaround, going
  from interview to final draft in just a few days.

• Sandra is the ultimate professional. As my editor, she gave me a wide berth to maintain my voice in my columns, while providing extraordinary input to sharpen my message. Her feedback was clear, concise, and timely.

  Thomas Dahlborg, President, Dahlborg Healthcare Leadership Group

• Our team needed a copy editor for a suite of technical reports, case studies, and a designed inventory on a short timeline.

  Sandra dove into the work with enthusiasm and creativity, working to not only fine-tune content for over 20 print- and web-based materials, but also helping us think through design concepts and visuals to highlight key messages, showcase findings, and distill technical material into accessible formats.

  Sandra is prompt, open to brainstorming new ideas and approaches to presenting information, and always responsive to questions and edits with a collaborative (and fun!) attitude.

• I am grateful to have Sandra Yin as a writing ally. Having her crisp and fresh eye on messaging, paired with an empathetic connection to my ideal customers, helped me write the sales page for my first ever retreat. We worked together on the edits and she is dreamy—clear, concise and always going for the most "juicy" copy!

  Elena Deutsch, CEO, Women Interested in Leaving (Big) Law – New York City

• Sandra is a terrific writer and editor who has an uncanny ability to translate complex material for general audiences.

  Seema Nayyar, Former Editor-in-Chief, American Demographics – New York, NY

• Sandra worked with Industry Dive to develop pre-launch marketing messaging and a corporate website. With limited oversight, she quickly came up to speed on our business, strategy, and goals.

  Sandra was able to provide practical and actionable feedback that simplified our message, spoke to our key stakeholders, and provided consistency in our branding. I would recommend her to anyone looking for business or marketing communication help.
