Welcome

Hi! I’m Walton Burns, materials writer, editor, book designer, and publishing consultant. If you’re looking to self-publish, I can help you as much or as little as you need! I’m also available for freelance work in a variety of editorial and publishing areas! My main area of expertise is education, particularly English-language teaching, but I’m a quick learner!

I’ve been an EFL and ESL teacher since 2001. I’m also an award-winning materials writer with experience professionally since 2007. I currently write teacher resource books, textbooks, and lesson plans for ESL schools. From here, you can read a little more about me.

Scroll down or click here for my portfolio. Read some of the articles and interviews I’ve done. Find the notes to some of my presentations. Check out my publishing company  and some of the lesson plans I sell online.

If you have any questions or have an interesting proposal, feel free to check out my services and typical rates and get in touch.
