“The Refine team is an invaluable resource when it comes to improving my English texts. The team works very quickly and accurately! Even with complicated scientific texts, I receive excellent corrections and suggestions to significantly improve the readability of my texts. It’s great that you’re managing the transition so well and with such foresight. I really appreciate your work and especially your great patience when I got involved in “development projects” with and for young co-authors from Africa, Asia, Southern Europe, etc. Thanks to your great help, even such difficult projects could always be led to success. I thank you very much for that. But not only in these special projects, but also in the knowledge success of my projects as a whole, I could profit immensely from your help.”
Christian Ringle, Hamburg University of Technology (TUHH), Germany
“If you have an absolutely crucial publication project, there is a level of editing that no AI-based software can provide. When it comes to really ensuring a book project has the readability you aspire to, I can highly recommend Amelia Burger and her team at Refine.”
Wolfgang Amann, HEC Paris
“Christine’s editing is excellent. She has helped me and my co-authors decisively with multiple manuscripts in management and information systems. Without her flawless and constructive editing, those manuscripts would likely not have been accepted by leading scholarly journals.”
Kim Strunk, University of Passau, Germany
“A great team of highly professional editors. Their superb editing services have lifted many of my research papers and textbooks to whole new levels. A clear recommendation!”
Marko Sarstedt, Ludwig-Maximilians University, Munich, Germany
“I can only highly recommend this team. They offer excellent editorial services with fast turnaround and very nice communication. For my papers, I have worked with Amelia and would highly recommend her. I was very happy with the results, and it was very convenient that it was possible to edit the paper in Overleaf.”
Lea Nassal, University of Duisburg-Essen, Germany
“Christine has helped me and my co-authors in copy editing numerous manuscripts for academic journals. Her work was an amazing help and has hugely improved our manuscripts. Christine was always super friendly, supportive (even with short-notice requests) and delivered a great outcome. Couldn’t ask for a better copy editor.”
Anne-Sophie Mayer, Vrije Universiteit, Amsterdam, The Netherlands
“The team is always attentive and responsive. The proofreading is of the highest quality, and the comments are very useful for non-English-speaking authors looking to improve their writing. I highly recommend their services for editing scientific articles.”
Hélène Blaszkiewicz, Université de Genève, Switzerland
“I am grateful for Amelia’s careful and sensitive editorial work. After the edit, it is straightforward what we have to do and we know we can contact her if we have any doubts.”
Timo Meynhardt, HHL Leipzig Graduate School of Management, Germany
“Over the past decade I’ve been fortunate to collaborate with Christine on numerous manuscripts. Her professionalism and expertise have consistently impressed me. One of Christine’s standout qualities is her remarkable flexibility. Whether I’ve approached her with a request on short notice or with a more extended deadline, she has always delivered with punctuality, friendliness, and precision. Christine’s attention to detail has been very helpful for my work. From rectifying grammar errors to offering insightful suggestions on wording, she helped enhance my texts’ clarity and coherence. I wholeheartedly recommend Christine to any researcher or writer needing top-tier editing services. Her dedication, skill, and adaptability make her an indispensable asset.”
Marina Fiedler, University of Passau, Germany
“The changes and remarks, which certainly improve the manuscript, are a sure sign of your team’s professional proofreading skills.”
Erik Karger, University of Duisburg-Essen, Germany
“I am so grateful for Amelia’s editing. I incorporated the feedback and adopted 99% of the suggested adjustments. Really great work – I haven’t had such a good editor in a long time!”
Rocco Huber, Universität Augsburg, Germany
“Christine has helped me with editing and proofreading a research paper, which has been helpful in the process of preparing for publication. What I like about the collaboration with her is her seriousness, rigor and responsiveness.”

“André Crous is not just an editor but a true partner in achieving publication success.”
Lanlan Cao, NEOMA Business School, France
“Christine has been doing English proofreading and editing jobs for me and my co-authors for more than five years. In total, she proofread more than 15 academic articles and book chapters written in Word and LaTeX for me. I was always very satisfied with her work, as she ensured that my writing was properly grammatical. After her proofreading, I never received any reviews with comments about having to attend to my language. In addition, Christine worked very quickly and accurately. She kept to the agreed deadlines and was always available to answer questions. I highly recommend her work and look forward to working with her again.”
Florian Schuberth, University of Twente, The Netherlands
“I am grateful for quick work that is still done with the care and attention it requires. The feedback and suggestions also improve the text greatly.”
Adam Thomas, University of St.Gallen, Switzerland
“I’ve been working with this editing team for almost 10 years now, and I can only recommend them. They took care from the outset to have my papers edited by André, who knows French and is therefore more likely than anyone else to understand my sentence constructions and improve them in an exceptional way. After all these years, André understands my expectations so well that I can’t imagine any other person or company editing my papers.”
Mathieu Alemany Oliver, Toulouse Business School, France
Legacy testimonials from Lemonade Hub
Lemonade Hub, recognised for its excellence in communication services, and Refine are a seamless fit. These testimonials are from clients who experienced exceptional service, which we continue to deliver under the Refine brand.
“Lemonade Hub has been changing the Africa Centre for HIV/Aids Management’s public image on various platforms. Their understanding of everything communication-related, attention to detail and focus on professionalism are second to none – for Amelia Burger, founder-director of Lemonade Hub, and every team member it is literally not done until it is done. It takes lots of effort, time, commitment, caring and perhaps a secret ingredient or two to communicate with targeted audiences so that there’s progress towards the desired outcomes and real results are obtained. Lemonade Hub has become our thinking and action partner in all of that, and we see the results in stakeholder engagement and interest in our programmes. We have learnt so much from this partnership and experience ─ Lemonade Hub understands our brand, its history and potential future development, and that’s an incredible value-add.”
Dr Munya Saruchera, Stellenbosch University, South Africa
“Lemonade Hub has been working with us since November 2016, helping to make our customer communication easy to understand. I have appreciated the way in which Amelia and her team have given their total commitment to our projects; often going way beyond the call of duty to help us achieve our objectives. It’s been absolutely worth our while having them on board!”
Lindiwe Freeth, Old Mutual, South Africa
“I’ve had the honour and privilege to work with the Lemonade Hub team over an extended period. During this time I have come to deeply respect the work of Amelia Burger and her highly skilled and professional team. We had complex assignments, but the wealth and depth of experience, talent and professionalism ensured that no task was too big for the team. Personal service and enormous attention to detail are what set Lemonade Hub apart. It is always difficult for smaller companies to compete effectively with corporate organisations, yet Lemonade Hub treated us no different from any other multinational client.
