My public sector, business and publisher clients include Enterprise Ireland; SOLAS (Further Education and Training Authority); Irish Research Council; Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport; Department of Children and Youth Affairs; Road Safety Authority (RSA); the Health Service Executive (HSE); Irish International; ​Wexford County Council; Folens Publishers; and Divine Mercy Publications.

I also work with numerous authors; some are traditionally published, while others have self-published their work. Some of my clients have gone on to acquire a literary agent and have their work traditionally published, while others have been listed for awards or have had their work broadcast on national media. I work on both fiction and non-fiction manuscripts.
