In 1989, her family immigrated to the United States and she remained in Tel Aviv. At the age of 27 she began studying literature at Tel Aviv University, from which she graduated with honors.

She has published stories and essays in various periodicals and anthologies such as Orot, Studio, Resling, Orienteering and Granetta. The judges of the Prime Minister’s Award wrote: “Adi Sorek is a top-notch author and editor. In her books, she has established a unique style of writing that boldly explores the boundaries of creative expression from within and without. Her books unfold for her readers a dense tapestry of affinities and allusions to Hebrew and world literature, erecting multi-layered and polyphonic texts. With genre-defying prose, often blending into existential essayist writing, she brings to the surface questions about home, place and space. In addition, as founder and editor of the Vashti Books Series at Resling Publishing, Adi Sorek has introduced international, avant garde authors to Israeli readers.” Panel of Judges: Eyal Dotan, Meron Rapaport, Galit Distal Atbaryan, December 2019 (en)
