Partners in communication
Express Editors is a consultancy run by two award-winning writers and expert editors Tony Spencer-Smith and Linda Vergnani. We're both skilled storytellers, have been widely published and are crazy about the craft of writing. We chose the name Express Editors because:
We believe in the power of words to improve, uplift and inspire people. We're media veterans and have seen the way well-crafted content can change the way people think and influence the world. And in case you are wondering, yes we are a husband and wife team.
- we can improve the way you express yourself
- we work fast and can beat the deadlines
- we have a solid journalistic background working for the mainstream press.

Founded in 2003, Express Editors has expanded into a content producing consultancy. We called it Express Editors for three reasons.
1) We express what our clients want to convey in the crispest way
2) We are ex-press professionals
3) We can provide express delivery of your publishing project when the deadlines are tight.
