Digital content creation and editorial consultancy

Providing digital content, editorial and copywriting services to clients in ELT and education

At Refreshing Publishing, I provide digital content creation / development, editorial and copywriting services to a wide variety of clients throughout the world. These clients include international educational publishers, ed tech companies, and non-profits.

For over ten years now, I've been involved in educational publishing, commissioning and developing print and digital titles for international markets. And now I'm taking all the knowledge and experience I've gained over the past 25 years and putting it into my business, Refreshing Publishing.

Refreshing Publishing takes advantage of that experience, ultimately enabling me to provide high-quality and on-spec digital content.

He is a true professional and explained the aims of the project very clearly. His feedback was constructive and supportive. I look forward to working with Derek again in the future and cannot recommend him enough.

I had the privilege of working with Derek on a couple of projects, but the biggest was the second edition of a young learner English language course. Derek was an asset and essential to the project, frequently going above and beyond his responsibilities to ensure that we met tight deadlines.
