Welcome to the Longman ESL/EFL author page! As publishers, we are always looking for creative, talented writers for a variety of materials including student books, teacher editions workbooks, and testbanks for English as a Second Language/English as a Foreign Language. If you are familiar with Longman's offerings, you know that we are the world's largest publisher of ESL/EFL materials. We are proud of what we publish, and we are open to new ideas that will make our list even stronger.

In general, we are looking for authors who are experienced classroom teachers and have a good sense of what works and does not work in the classroom.
