About The English Editors

About The English Editors

Established in 2008 by professional magazine editor and writer Russell Gilbert, The English Editors is an informal network comprising some of the most talented and respected freelance English editors, writers, journalists and creative copywriters he has had the good fortune to work with during his extensive editorial career.

Based in Aalsmeer, in the heart of the Randstad, The English Editors is founded on the certain knowledge that in an age of specialisation, no one person – no matter how professional or experienced – can cater for the unique and varied needs of every client.

Thus, and to paraphrase American President Woodrow Wilson, Russell uses not only all the brains he has, but also all the freelance brains he can borrow.

As a professional editor working on magazines, websites and other publications across a diverse range of industry sectors, Russell has amassed a considerable wealth of hands-on experience. Publications he has worked on in an editorial capacity include:

This means he is a highly skilled and professional editor, writer (click here for Russell's article portfolio) and editorial project leader with a deep knowledge of magazine publishing, editorial content creation, corporate communications, journalism, copywriting and more.

In 2008, he decided to offer his skills and services as a freelance native English editor, copywriter and proofreader - a move that benefits an ever-growing number of appreciative clients (click here for a list of Russell's clients).
