About Me
I’m Sian Phillips
I have been extremely blessed to get all my work by word of mouth and have never had to advertise. I currently work with authors just starting out to million-selling authors. Amazon bestsellers and some on the New York Times #1 Bestseller list. Many of my authors have been with me from their first book and I’m very proud of their achievements over the years and forever grateful that they tell all their author friends about me. Take a look at my testimonials.
Yes, I am of the age where I did ‘O’ and ‘A’ Levels and passed them all (except for German — hated those lessons — sorry German people). I have 2 ‘A’ levels in English and History and 9 ‘O’ Levels.
I went on to become a Qualified Accountant (ACCA) in 1997 and I’m told that my attention to detail comes from this — whether it is words or numbers.
In 2003 I considered a change in direction and achieved an Honours Diploma in Journalism from the renowned London School of Journalism.
After deciding pretty quickly that a journalist’s life wasn’t for me I stuck with accounting and added an extra bit of writing on the side. The yearn to become a writer soon faded when I realised how much of a perfectionist I was as one paragraph would take me forever because it had to be just right.
So this led me to become a proofreader; happily checking other people’s writing rather than obsessing about my own.
I am a member of the Chartered Institute of Editing and Proofreading.
I am pleased to be a sponsor of the annual Ireland’s Publishing Show and am happy for anyone to come up and have a chat with me at the event.

Even the best writers will admit they “err” and will need someone to check their work. When looking at your own writing you become word-blind and can miss even the simplest errors.
