Amazing value for money! Highly recommend becoming a member to anyone who isn't already. I've applied and been offered a number of jobs via the directory and expanded my network so more work is coming to me because of that. I also love how professional the member logo looks in my email signature.

It's useful for everyone if freelancers can be found in a one-stop shop. 😊
Alison De Jager (Outsourced Services Manager, Oxford University Press)
Thought you might like to know that I got the contract with [publisher]. It's great! I'm so pleased. Thank you, as without you I wouldn't have had that 'in' with a publisher I've not worked with before!
Julia Bell (Editor – Professional Development and Teacher Development)
We're delighted to be part of the Publishing Professionals family. Over the last year we have successfully sourced some fantastic freelancers and authors, all of whom we have now used on several occasions, and we're very happy to have them on board. The Publishing Professionals website is very user friendly, and the page showing freelancers with immediate availability has been very useful.
Sian Mavor (Executive Editor, National Geographic Learning)
Advertising my availability in the directory has been an excellent way of expanding my client base. I also find the discussions between fellow editors very helpful and full of useful, practical tips. The network is both highly professional and friendly.
Anna O'Smotherly (freelance editor and proofreader)
We're really happy to be a part of Freelance Publishing Professionals. Within a couple of weeks of signing up we went in, searched for the skills we needed and found the perfect person. The site is easy to use and filled with the best of the freelancer community!
Jo Sayers (Head of Product & Technology, Learnjam)
Not only does your directory provide such helpful advice, and guidance, it has helped me further my freelancing career and put me in touch with publishing companies I could only have dreamed of working with a couple of years ago. It has led to many ongoing writing opportunities, and has connected me with so many wonderful freelancers that provide such invaluable support. I know I’ll be a lifelong member!
Billie Jago (freelance ELT writer)
I recommend ELT Publishing Professionals – not only do they advertise writing and editing jobs, but they also actively bring publishers and freelancers together, organising social and networking events – in-person and online. It is important to connect with other writers, for professional and moral support.

A big thank you for the marvellous thing that is ELT Publishing Professionals. I am working on a really complex, fast-moving project and recruiting editors and authors via job spots at short notice has been an absolute lifesaver. We would certainly not have had time to go around contacting individuals in the usual way and I have also met some really talented freelancers in the process.
ELT Publisher
I just wanted to congratulate you on the success of ELT Publishing Professionals and thank you for all your hard work in supporting the freelance community. Personally, I have benefitted in real terms by receiving much-needed work through a couple of successful applications to Job Spots.
Amanda Leigh (freelance editor)
I've just started working on an editorial project after someone contacted me through your site. The project is right up my street and it seems very well organised, so I'm pretty happy with it. Thank you very much!
Claire Hart (freelance author & editor of print and digital ELT materials)
I was approached by a publisher very soon after signing up, so I can vouch for the effectiveness of being a member! Thanks!
Paul Ashe (freelance educational consultant and teacher trainer)
The directory is a brilliant idea. Really impressive!
Evie Godowski (Director, Tom Dick and Debbie Productions)
Fantastic directory of freelance publishing professionals. This is THE place for publishing companies worldwide to find the 'right person for the right job'!
