Publishing project management & digital content development

​Hello, I’m Derek Philip-Xu and I’m a publishing project manager and digital content developer/instructional designer.

​I am also the founder and owner of Refreshing Publishing.
​At Refreshing Publishing, I provide digital publishing, project management and digital content development services to a wide variety of clients in English language learning and education throughout the world. These clients include international educational publishers, ed tech companies, and non-profits. 

For over twenty years now, I've been involved in English language learning and 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 and putting it into my business, Refreshing Publishing.

Refreshing Publishing takes advantage of that experience, ultimately enabling me to develop and project manage high-quality, accessible 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.

How can Refreshing Publishing help with your educational content?

  • Project management (workflow management, scheduling, budgeting).​
  • Project commissioning (contracting, project scoping, concept development work, briefing documents, style/tone of voice guidelines).
  • Digital content development (content editing, editorial reviews, alpha/beta testing).
  • Instructional design.​​​
  • Accessibility consulting​ (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines, European Accessibility Act).
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.
Former Project Manager at EF Education First
