Sofie Bedford
Affiliated Researcher, IRES Institute for Russian and Eurasian Studies, Uppsala University
I hired ALBA to do English-language editing of an academic (political science) article (as a Swede, my academic English is not always sufficient) and they did an excellent job. I was happy with both the linguistic and content suggestions they provided and I am certain their work contributed to our article subsequently being accepted for publication. I can highly recommend them to anyone that needs this kind of service.
Mohamed Turay
IT & Logistics Manager of Helen Keller International, Sierra Leone
I called on ALBA to proofread my research project for my MSc. Not only did they do so with the utmost professionalism, but they also delivered well within the initially agreed-upon timelines. While sourcing for such services to handle the task, I sought the reviews of past clients. Out of the many reviews and recommendations I received, an overwhelming number referred me to this firm. I am confident in recommending ALBA’s editing services and continue to use them as part of my professional career.
Dr. Alessandro Rippa
Project Leader, Rachel Carson Center for Environment and Society (LMU Munich)
In the course of completing my PhD, ALBA provided invaluable support. They treated my thesis with the highest level of care and skill, and were always on hand to respond quickly to my queries. The chapter-by-chapter arrangement they apply for such documents is also beneficial, as while I worked on the revised first chapter, they could begin editing/proofreading the second chapter, and so on: it was all very time-efficient! For any PhD student seeking editing/proofreading, I would strongly recommend ALBA whose work I found to be flawless.
Art Stavenka
HYPERVSN, London
I reach out to ALBA regularly for the editing/proofreading of blog posts, website content, presentation materials and other important documents. Their attention to detail and critical feedback have helped immensely, while I also appreciate how responsive they are. Tight deadlines have never been a problem for ALBA. Professionalism, honesty and punctuality are three of their many strengths, and I recommend ALBA wholeheartedly to startups and established businesses alike.
Alex Aleksishvili
Chairman, Policy and Management Consulting Group (PMCG) / former Minister of Finance of Georgia (2005-2007)
ALBA has been a close, loyal and dependable partner for many years, editing/proofreading our English-language output to the highest standard. Consistently, ALBA has helped us to bring our most significant written work, including policy briefs, research papers, and periodic reports, to a level that not only satisfies but impresses donors and other stakeholders. Moreover, my staff learn a lot about how to improve their written English from ALBA’s honest and constructive feedback, which is a very welcome additional benefit of their service.
Sigrid Lupieri
Researcher, Development and Refugee Studies, University of Cambridge
ALBA has been a vital resource over the past few years in helping me edit and refine several international publications, including a magazine and various technical reports. I have been impressed with their professionalism and quick turn-around time. They are reliable, easy to work with, and pay great attention to detail. I look forward to continue working with them in the future and would strongly recommend their services to anyone in need of an excellent team of editors!
Alberto Mastellari
IR graduate, University of St Andrews
I was urged by fellow students to contact ALBA to have my dissertation fully edited and proofread before submission. Not only was I impressed with the care and attention taken, but also the depth of knowledge they had in my chosen topic! After graduating, I’ve used ALBA to work on documents for a host of international projects across the CIS and recommend them to my colleagues on a regular basis.
Alina Frunza

Upon graduation, I called upon ALBA for help with my CV and cover letters, as I had little idea where to begin! Their help and guidance was invaluable to kick-start my career after university, and I recommend them wholeheartedly to anyone entering the job market today as having an edge over the fierce competition is vital.
Parviz Abduvahobov
Senior Post-Disaster Needs Assessment Expert, Paris
I contacted ALBA about a post-disaster needs assessment report I was about to submit. Due to the nature of the report’s content, we were under very tight time constraints. In spite of this, ALBA not only delivered on time but did so with outstanding results. The report benefitted enormously from the edits and feedback given, and I particularly hold their meticulous attention to detail in the highest regard.
Maria de Souza
History graduate, Freie Universität Berlin
I enlisted ALBA’s services when drafting my dissertation which was eventually awarded a first. After graduating, I then requested their help in writing my postgraduate application for a master’s degree in the UK, which was also successful. ALBA’s constructive and honest feedback has improved my academic writing skills, preparing me well for a career in academia.
