During my four years as a freelance editor, I have worked extensively with indie authors, helping to bring novels, short story collections, and non-fiction books (in a variety of genres) to publication.

Testimonials:

“I used Sinead’s services as a proofreader to read over my first novel, My Brother the Enemy, which is about 30,000 words long. What initially amazed me was the speed of the turnaround – the whole thing was thoroughly proofread and returned to me in no time at all. However much you read and re-read your own work, it is impossible to pick up on every error. What surprised me was how many errors there were, all of which were picked up by Sinead. Her corrections and the explanations for those corrections are very useful for a writer not just for the work in progress but for future work and one’s development as a writer. The suggestions and amendments also were spot on, and showed that she understood what I was trying to achieve as a writer. At the end of the process, I felt the novel was a much tighter, and a more professional piece of work. I was very pleased to have found Sinead and would highly recommend.” Rupert Colley, Novelist and Founder of History In An Hour

“A big, big THANK YOU to Sinead Fitzgibbon for putting in life-crushing days of work to make the Walking With Angels manuscript ready for printing. If anyone ever wants a great editor/proofreader look no further. Sinead is both the steady rock and the tenacious ratter of inconsistency.” Melanie Gow, Artist and Author of the Walking With Angels photobook. (via Twitter).

I regularly write literary criticism for a number of quality publications. My reviews have appeared in newspapers, literary and political journals and magazines, and review sites - including The Australian national newspaper, LA Review of Books' Marginalia Review, Books Ireland magazine, Jewish Quarterly, Gorse (a new Dublin-based literary journal, and the US-based.
