"I wrote and published my first book last year titled Midlife Women Rock: A Menopause Story for a New Generation. I was so fortunate to have been signposted to Geraldine. On our first zoom call I knew she was the person whom I could work with to bring the book to publication. Her professionalism, expertise and exacting high standards enabled me see a very basic manuscript transform into a best -selling book. I highly recommend Geraldine to those of you looking for a book editor. She is a tough task master where writing is concerned and I am so grateful Geraldine! Above all else Geraldine is a lovely individual to work with, hugely encouraging, wanting to get one’s best onto the page."
Breeda Bermingham, Midlife Women Rock
"I attended ‘The Art of the Pitch’ online facilitated by Geraldine Walsh via The Irish Writer’s Centre during January-February 2024. Geraldine was a truly remarkable and inspiring tutor and provided a comprehensive, thought provoking and absolutely invaluable overview of freelance journalism during the six weeks of the course. The personal insights she shared into her life as a freelance journalist, how she structures her time and crafts her pitches were so very helpful. I would highly recommend this course to anyone who wishes to really learn the ‘nuts and bolts’ of freelance journalism.’"

"As a first-time author, I was in need of coaching, developmental editing, copy editing and proofreading for my book Perfectly Imperfect Parenting: Connection Not Perfection. Geraldine Walsh performed all these tasks with exceptional expertise and skill. She paid great attention to detail and gave me extensive feedback, helping me not only to tighten my writing, but also improve the structure of the book. She was an absolute pleasure to work with, and the revisions and additions she suggested were always right on target. I really could not have asked for a better editor. I have learned so much from her, and look forward to working with her again in the future."
Dr Mary O'Kane, Lecturer In Psychology, Open University
“I worked with Geraldine on my first chapter book, ‘Hare Today, Gone Tomorrow’ for children aged 8 – 11 years and, hands down, it was one of the most educational writing experiences I have ever had. Geraldine has a way with delivering feedback and suggestions that is second to none and an unrivalled eye for detail. I’m so proud of the final result and cannot recommend working with her to enough people. Ger, you’ve a gift. Thank you.”
Emma-Jane Lesson, Johnny Magory World
" I completed Geraldine Walsh's course last week - Kickstart your nonfiction book - and wanted to let you know that I thought it was incredible. Geraldine came to class each week with carefully prepared and detailed information which she shared in an engaging way. I really appreciated her no-nonsense practical approach to the challenges of writing and publishing a book. In the last three classes we had an opportunity to dive into questions and discussion about specific issues we were dealing with. She really helped me think through each stage of my book including the proposal.
I highly highly recommend this course. "

Geraldine delivered her work professionally and on time and it was a pleasure working with her. She is a fabulous writer and I am looking forward to working with her again sometime in the future."

Just to thank Geraldine for her invaluable help for creative writing I needed done. She was so professional and understood immediately what I needed. She has an innate ability to simply get you and your mindset about what you need. When my file arrived in my inbox it was more that what I expected. I can only offer my highest possible recommendation for Geraldine's work.
