My next available editing slot is June. Yes, it's a while away but it's much better to have it booked for your professional edit than to find yourself stuck and having to go elsewhere. I'm always available to chat, and happy to provide a sample edit. Puppy photo of Cú is purely to improve your day.😊

Cú, my trusty assistant (she thinks she's the boss), tells me we're accepting bookings for 2026. Yep, I know this is only May, but your novel, memoir, or short-story collection may be ready for its professional edit then, so now is the time to start the ball rolling.

It was lovely to meet author Pat McDermott for a cuppa and chat during her visit to Sligo. Even better to be gifted a copy of her twelfth book, Going Back on Old Times - a collection of stories that I'm looking forward to reading. Make sure to check out Pat's website. #fiction #indieauthors #Sligo

Powerful.👌

I always make time for sample edits. If your WIP is ready for its professional edit, and you're searching for a reliable editor (with a sense of humour and a gorgeous dog), email two chapters to me and I'll return a sample edit. #WritingCommunity #indieauthors #amediting #Ireland

A beautiful evening in Sligo Town. The skies will be active tonight with meteorites. Much better than TV.🌠😊 #Sligo
