Our people

Founded 20 years ago by Dr Neil James and Dr Peta Spear, the Foundation has built an outstanding reputation as Australia’s leading provider of plain English training and editing.

Our team of wordsmiths includes screenwriters and authors, journalists, academics and schoolteachers. We even have a poet on our team! But what we all have in common is a deep knowledge of language and years of experience in professional writing. Whether you’re joining one of our workshops or coming to us for an editing project, you’ll be working with a plain English expert who knows the field inside out.
