As a professional editor and proofreader, I help public bodies, businesses and authors communicate their message clearly to their audiences. I am based in Wexford, Ireland but I work with clients from all over the world.

I specialise in working on fiction manuscripts.​

What my clients say


'Mary is not only extremely thorough, but she's also incredibly talented, and her edits are eye-opening. I can honestly say that I've become a better writer because of her suggestions and insights. Reading one of her edits is like a year of creative writing classes. I would highly recommend hiring Mary to anyone who thinks they have this writing thing licked. She will open your eyes and make you a better writer.'
Sam Sisavath, author 
'I have found Mary McCauley to be highly professional, capable, committed to deadlines and pleasant to deal with. Unlike many proofreaders who are self-taught, Mary has one of the industry’s recognised professional qualifications, and that makes a huge difference to the quality and creditability of her work.'
​Mary Sweetman, production editor, writer and journalist
'I have worked with many editors over a long period but you are one of the finest that I have ever met.'
Dr Declan Kennedy, author, senior lecturer in Science Education at University College Cork
