The Founder’s Story
Hello. My name is Edi. I am the CEO & Founder of Alkyone.
Here at Alkyone, we provide proofreading, copyediting, formatting and translating services to individuals all around the world. We have over 5 years of experience in providing our global editing services.
Why Have I Set Up Alkyone?
I have always had a passion for the English language.
After suffering much discrimination, prejudice, and racism during my earlier days due to my non-English name and surname, being told that I will never be able to write fluently in English, never be able to get any job involving the English language, and should never even think of helping other people with their English, I decided to use this as fuel for mastering the English language, despite how hard the English language can be.
Having heard my parents stress to me about how they were never able to get a job and communicate with anyone in the UK for many months due to not knowing how to speak, read or write in English, and with no one or software able to help them with their English, I could only imagine what they had gone through.
Having also seen many talented people in Kosovo (my ethnic background) apply to jobs and universities in English speaking countries but not succeed because of their English writing skills, I knew that the English language could not be a barrier to hold them back from pursuing their dreams. And I knew many people from all over the world faced similar problems, too. I knew I must do something to help!
I decided to help both English and Kosovan citizens by proofreading, copyediting, formatting, and translating their text to make sure the English was perfect and free from any errors, and make these people one step closer to pursuing their long awaited dreams.
I then helped my fellow international students during my time at university, who came from all over the world (Nigeria, India, Brazil, Zimbabwe, Philippines, The Gambia, South Africa, and many more), by offering my services for their essays, dissertations, assignments, coursework, presentations, reports, CVs, personal statements, and job application letters, to make sure they succeed in getting what they wanted.
Seeing the joy and excitement in people’s faces when they secured their dream job or their place at their dream university after I had helped them fuelled my passion even more to help people with their English language skills.
I want to show the world that no matter where you come from, do not let anything or anyone hold you back from pursuing your dreams, whatever they may be!
