ELT Publishing Professionals
ELT Publishing Professionals is a dynamic online directory that brings together publishers and freelancers in the English Language Teaching publishing sector. The directory showcases freelancers involved in a wide range of roles within ELT publishing and is a one-stop-shop for resourcing publishing projects within the sector.
- Freelancers upload and manage a detailed profile with photo, and advertise their own availability direct to potential clients.
- Publishers, packagers and other organisations browse the directory, using powerful and effective search tools, then make direct contact with the chosen freelancers.
- Publishers and other organisations advertise their freelance vacancies by posting Job Spots that freelancers can apply for.
Founded in 2018 by Helen Holwill, Jemma Hillyer, Karen Spiller and Sue Kay, ELT Publishing Professionals is the result of collaboration between ELT Freelancers' Community and ELT Teacher 2 Writer.
